Took really long but i have been busy with my own trips and being sick but finally after recovering the work starts. I am currently on a tour with Ercilia, she is from Portugal and she got my contact from Angie, Angie is like my mom from UK, she traveled around north of India with me and we did a special ceremony of putting her dad's ashes in Ganges which makes it even more special.
Now Ercilia's main aim to visit India was to put her friend Mark booth's ashes in the Ganges in a nicer way with all the rituals. She arrived in delhi on 1st Sept, I met her at the airport and felt like i knew her already as we had so much talk on emails before she arrived. We had a nice cup of chai in office before starting and as its always nice to clear the payment out of the way, that's what i did and later took her home.
She enjoyed being with family and her nice sleep that night. She shared the room with Sapna (my sister), as her bag was lost in Dubai airport, so we had to wait for her bag until next morning 10am when it finally arrived in my home, later we started our way to village with Sapna as well.
I took the way that goes along with the Ganges, specially so Ercilia feels good , as last time she was in India was around 2005, so it was good idea to take whiter roads for a beginning and then slowly slowly she got use to it. We were in village and the first thing i did was to take her to the main Ganges place and fix the ceremony for the ashes for next day, we got it all fixed for 9am next day. She was curious to do it as this was her main aim for this trip and rest is after this.
Next day 9am we came to Haridwar for the ceremony and I was very glad to find the nice pandit to do it for her. It was very emotional part but glad all went very well. After the ceremony i drove her to Rishikesh, where i booked a very nice places for her around foot hills with nice view to the ram and Laxman jhoola. After arriving first thing she wanted to do was to have nice shower and contact the friends parents to tell them that the ceremony was done nicely and all is good. She is also a yoga teacher and she also does massages, the next thing she wanted was a massage, so I took her to this nice guy i know for massage and i thought to get a massage also as I have still been feeling quite week after my terrible sick days. It was a wonderful massage and I almost fall a sleep, I could feel the snoring I was making at time while getting massage haha, :p it was beautiful.
We came out and glad Ercilia also enjoyed her massage a lot, which made me feel good. We had some nice lunch that included mix vegetables and Palak paneer my favourite. After food i left her back to hotel for a nap, which is a beautiful thing after nice massage and food :p, I plan to take her to parmarth Niketan by wall for evening Arti, I think this will be the best way to end this day and sleep beautifully :-)
