Mar 3, 2013 - Ahmedabad

Wednesday, February 27 Today we headed south from Mt Abu and crossed into Gujurat, another state of India (they have 37). We stopped at the border to pay the entry tax (I think it is a road tax). We had the twisty drive down the mountain, then got on a freeway. Our sightseeing stop of the day was at Modhera, so we got to find our way there. Kana is not familiar with Gujurat, and road signs are sometimes cryptic, so he asked directions a few times, and we found our way. The site we wanted to visit was the Sun Temple. We wanted to see an...

Sep 7, 2009 - Final Days

Our two last days in Udaipur were well spent. On Friday the 4th we spent the day exploring the city palace and went on a boat tour of Lake Pichola. We're lucky we got to Udaipur when we did because apparently three weeks ago there was no water in the lake! That would've been a bit of a bummer since half the appeal of Udaipur is the lake. We retired to our favourite place in the palace for tea again after another long day. The next day we moved hotels to one just outside the city, formerly the royal hunting camp. We hung out by the pool and...

Aug 7, 2009 - Ahmedabad

ciao a tutti finalmente riusciamo di nuovo ad accedere alla rete, dopo tre giorni passati ai bordi del deserto del Little Rann. Grazie ai buoni uffici di Devjibhai, ho stabilito diversi buoni contatti, sia con i lavoratori del sale che con i pescatori. Se riusciro' a portare avanti il progetto saranno molto utili. Staremo a vedere, inshallah. Da ieri sera siamo ad Ahmedabad, la principale citta' del Gujarat. Ha oltre cinque milioni di abitanti, ed e' stata fondata nel 1411 da Ahmed Shah, sultano del Gujarat, nel luogo dove aveva visto una...

Aug 7, 2009 - ancora Ahmedabad

A Ahmedabad dove eravamo, capitale del Gujurat, Gandhi ha creato il suo secondo ashram, Sabarmati Ashram, quello piu' conosciuto, siamo andati a visitarlo, c'e' una grande e ben fatta esposizione esplicativa, con copie di documenti etc, gli edifici originali sono rimasti, e' molto grande, in citta' ma forse quando lui lo costrui' era fuori, certamente e' stato toccante percorrere quei luoghi, abbiamo visto la sua stanza, in una costruzione bassa con un porticato, la stanza e' quella della famosa foto con la ruota per filare il cotone, che...

Jun 23, 2009 - High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad

Route: Mumbai - Surat - Baroda - Anand - Ahmedabad Distance covered: 532 Kms. Place of Stay on 22.06.2009: Ankur's Cousin's (Jyoti and Harish Chauhan) House We were on the way to Ahmedabad and all of us were sitting uncomfortably due to full stomach. We really ate like glutton. The drive was straight and easy on a four lane highway. Near Baroda we met with heavy downpour and had to stop our vehicle for sometime as the visibility had gone down completely. Once the rain god disappeared, we continued our journey. The drive from Baroda to...

Dec 31, 2008 - Ahmedabad

Gujarat Ciao a tutti, e buon 2009! Ci siamo lasciati qualche giorno fa, ed anche se questo aggiornamento e’ datato 31 dicembre, in realta’ lo sto scrivendo il 2 gennaio, perche’ non ho avuto accesso alla Rete per diversi giorni. Ma e’ stato all’alba del 31 dicembre, dopo un lungo e faticoso viaggio di oltre 48 ore, che sono finalmente riuscito a raggungere lo stato del Gujarat, di cui Ahmedabad e’ la citta’ principale. Il Gujarat e’ uno stato diverso dalla maggior parte degli altri, che sorprende anche gli indofili piu’ incalliti. Le...

Dec 3, 2008 - Safely arrived!

Just a VERY quick note to everyone to let you all know that we have safely arrived in India, without incident. All of the flights, connections, etc. went tickety-boo, and our ride was waiting for us when we arrived in Vadadora, to be taken to the smaller town of Anand, where we are being graciously hosted at a beautiful home. We start out on our tour of Rajesthan tomorrow, and are very excited about it. If, for whatever reason, someone needed to urgently contact us, we do have a cell phone while here, and you could contact our parents or...

Nov 16, 2008 - The real journey begins!

A quick cuppa and I am ready for the ‘taxi’. It’s a very small Suzuki mini-van and small is the operative word. He opens up the side door, I chuck my backpack in and he tries to close the door and the door falls off. I have loads of time so I smile and wait whilst they try to get the door back on. And we are off to Ajmer to catch the train to Ahmedabad – a twelve hour journey. My real journey is about to begin! I sort everything out, get my ticket for my next leg and as I have time to kill I update my train schedule for the next four weeks....

Feb 2, 2008 - Ahmedabad

Prima di passare alla doppia natura di Ahmedabad – per come l’abbiamo vissuta noi, almeno – e’ d’obbligo menzionare l’esperienza della cuccetta…. Non avendo trovato posto in seconda classe A/C o nelle carrozze destinate agli stranieri, siamo finite con 4 allegre signore indiane in una carrozza piccolo e superfredda (le porte non sono previste, ne’ tra gli scompartimenti, ne’ nelle carrozze!), che nel corso della notte si sono date il cambio…presumibilmente con parenti vari, rendendo il tutto molto movimentato, per usare un eufemismo. Senza...
