We woke up and headed over to one of the recommendations in the Lonely Planet: Brown Bread Bakery.

They have a nice roof top restaurant, serve great breakfast – any German specialties from bread to Kässpätzle – and have a wifi. Which attracts the other tourists, too.

There, we met up two other travelers, Ceres, a yoga teacher from Brasilia, and Adi, a young woman from Tel Aviv.

We had a good time talking and decided to take a walk together down to the river and along the Ghats.

The Ghats are the stairs leading down to the river, where the locals do their laundry in the river, take a bath in the holy Ganges or burn their deceased.

We had a long stroll along the river, and thoroughly enjoyed the company.

We posed for pictures with Indian families, refused roughly fifty boat trips, declined the offers to buy Marijuana or other substances and just enjoyed the walk.

The further South we got, the more quiet it became, and in the end we just sat in the shade of one of the numerous temples and took in the view and everything that happened.

I guess everyone took tons of pictures, here’s just a small selection.
