Ved Niketan Ashram Rishikesh

I'm still relaxing in Rishikesh although its gets everyday colder. Especially the wind is very cold. I enjoy Ved Niketan Ashram were I'm staying since 8 November. The Ashram looks over the Ganges the holy river.

The last week I did some reading, yoga by my selfe everyday around 1 hour and 30 minutes. Most of the time I go early to bed because there is no heating in my roon and most of the restaurants are without heating. So around 9:30 pm go to bed and read a book. Most of the evening meals I take in the Italian (only restaurant with heating) or the Ayuvedic Cafe. Both restaurants serve good food although the Ayuvedic Cafe serves healtier food. But this afternoon I will have lunch in the German bakery in Laxman Julia only 20 minutes walking from were I stay.

Some books I have been reading lately are:

* A search in secret India from Paul Brunton. This is a book about India and Yogis
* Surya Namaskara from Swami Satyananda Saraswati
* The Da vinci Codes from Dan Brown.

I stay another 2 days in Risikesh and then I move to Delhi. This takes about 7 hours by bus. In Delhi I will take a train to Varanassi.
