Karol Bagh - Lalli Singh

We went to the moto market today, a place called Karol Bagh. We already had one recommendation about it, one of the shop-stalls belonged to Mr. Lalli Singh. It turns out to be a legendary place, recommended by the Lonely Planet guide and with plenty of a good feedback. We had kind of sceptical attitude about it, expecting horrendous prices, used bikes and frenetic Indians running around you. But what a surprise! We were attended with a normal looking, nice guy, who explained us generally how do they work, what the deals and their conditions are etc. and obviously showed us the bikes, or actually the only bike that was close to our description (not being the one that we were, not strictly though, looking for). Awwww! Loads of brilliant bikes and this one: Royal Enfield Classic, looked like the fulfilling of our dreams :) The only 350cc they had, black one, with spoked wheels (!), double siting and all the safety and travelling equipment included, from 2014 and 10000km mileage.
I'll not go through all the details, but is enough to say that we're content and exited! At least a very promising sign. Tomorrow or day after tomorrow we'll gonna have a trial ride and we'll be ready to take off!! Wiiii :)

That's how it all looked like:

Karol Bagh market. Busy..;)

Iskcon Krishna Temple:

neighbourhood


No shoes, clean hands and feet before entering as a basis and plenty of gods to choose from, food given away at the foot of a temple. Hare Hare Krishna, hare hare!

No problem, no problem!

After almost a week in Delhi we clarified a few things about this place and elaborated some certain rules about how to find ourselves around ;) 1. No problem - means really little, because you never know what are they talking about/referring to ; 2. Couples holding hands are more rare than guys doing the same thing ; 3. Separate carriages for women (in a tube) are normal and fully respected ; 4. How to grab a rickshaw? Negotiate (you MUST know what the real price/value is otherwise it doesn't make sense and you spend hours on trying to get on with a crazy driver) or force them to use a meter (usually fairly impossible..) ; 5. People stopping you on the street can either confuse or help you - you never know :D 6. Everyone, seriously, is staring at you with widely opened eyes as if he saw a person like this for the 1st time in his life (sic!) ; 7. Going cross the street - easy, if you don't afraid millions of cars, motorbikes/bikes and rickshaws approaching you promp...

Basque Country - inland / hilly landscapes

Further on we went. From the seashore we headed inland where a few nice spots awaited us. Every day was brining some new curiosities. From the shore, Gaztelugatxe, we went along the coast down to Bakio to have a coffee and to take a shower on the beach ;) Very refreshing one indeed, as it wasn't too sunny.  Later the same morning we headed towards Burgos, going round Bilbao, to the Nervión waterfall ( es )- the biggest waterfall on the Iberian Peninsula, with a single drop of 222 m ! Very impressive it was, indeed, although at that time of dry season there was no water at all, to our surprise ;)  Nevertheless the river's canyon itself was just breath-taking and was making you think about the earth's magnitude and grand self-creation forces.  On the way... leaving the coast for good right before the Nervión there were herds of horses all around <3 After dismounting the motorbike and a short visit in the visitors centre we took a long, a few kilom...

We

We live in England, in the countryside for the moment, but moving around quite often. Living out of the city is something we find most pleasant and the window-views are soothing all the w orries one may have :) We are trying to reduce our environmental impact, buy local veggies and eggs as much as possible, tend a little garden - we have a few planting beds for our own (with herbs and veg), we make compost and apple juice (from seasonal apples from the grove) and try to reduce waste - which is not an easy thing, here in this part of the UK at least. Except from traveling scribbles, I will be updating my/our attempts of zero-waste attitude and becoming more and more self-/sustainable.  Peace! ^^   Me  - Nati A crazy bun, you all possibly know me so there's not much need to introduce myself. Nevertheless, in case you don't, I'm a tremendously calm person, with loads of patience and life resilience.... naaahh, not quite ;)  I'm proud of being a postg...
