The Golden Temple in Amritsar
This weekend I travelled to the city of Amritsar with the two New Zealand ladies to visit the famous Golden Temple. The place really was a thing of beauty. Gold crowned, sitting in the middle of the water and surrounded by a high walled, beautifully carved building on all sides the temple was amazing at all times of the day... we went three different times, one in the afternoon when we first arrived, then again in the evening and the following morning... in the complex you arent able to wear footwear of any kind, so you have to check them in with the other thousands of pairs, and you have to wear something on your head - reason for wearing the beautiful bandanas haha...the photos do most of the talking for this weekend, it was nice, slow paced, good food, and hte city was great to walk around in - narrow streets with vendors all over the place
