Khajuraho


Well after a sleep in we got up and had some breakfast/lunch! We then headed out on the street and walked to the western temples which was only about 10 minutes down the road. We were very quickly approached by the young boy from yesterday who said you said you would come to my shop today. We said we would come back after we had seen the temples. We were asked constantly as we walked down the street to come look at shops. We made it to the temples and they were pretty amazing. Very detailed like most of the temples we have seen in India but these along with carved images of the gods and animals had some erotic carvings, displaying the karma sutra. Very interesting especially when you hear a guide speaking another language then all you understand is blow job! The erotic carvigns were a minor part of the beautiful temples but different to anything we have seen. We spent a few hours walking around the different temples spread out in the beautiful gardens. Rudi rang back home and spoke to his family as it was their Christmas dinner and we headed back out. We stopped at a mans store on the side of the road that had brass objects and I bought rudi a Gandhi statue he liked for Christmas. Our friend from earlier was waiting for us so we went with him to his shop and like usual bought more stuff! We headed back to the hotel to relax and we got a hot shower…YAY! The day was gone and it was time to head down to the garden for our Christmas celebrations with Sud! We got down there and he wasn’t there yet so Rudi started doing some henna for me. We had bought some earlier in the day as Rudi wanted to give it a go! Very cheap to buy yourself! Anyway rudi picked a very difficult design and off he went. It looks good but he needs a little more practice! He was a bit rushed though because Sud came out and then we felt bad coz we weren’t being very sociable. Anyway we had lots to drink, the boys had a few smokes and again played lots of cards. I told the boys no sleeping before midnight as it wasn’t my Christmas until the 25th so they had to stay awake! We were approached by a stray dog at the table and we had no food except some fresh fruit that Sud had cut up so we gave it some and it scoffed it down. The poor thing was starving. Like always Rudi was brave enough to pat her and she loved it but was also so frightened as they never get pats, they get treated very bad! Later in the night we went to Suds car parked in the carpark and he turned up his cd player pretty loud with some bollywood techno music and we jumped around like idiots in the carpark. Sud was a great dancer and was trying to teach us some moves! We drew an audience! We then went up to our room as the restaurant wanted to close and they were waiting for us to go! So we came up and Sud and I had a few more drinks while Rudi struggled to stay awake! Sud was quite drunk so we had a long deep and meaningful and he got a bit teary when he was saying how much he liked us and he was going to miss us. We gave him our details back home and he told us he had copied it like 5 times and put it in all different places so he would never lose us! He is so sweet. He put me on the phone to his wife and I said Merry Christmas but her English isn’t great so we didn’t say much else! When all the rum was gone and it was almost 2am we walked Sud back to his room and he gave us both big hugs! Was a really special Christmas and one we will never forget. We had a great time!
