Days when traveling is always tiring: we have to get up early, pack backpacks, leave the hotel and go to the bus or railway station, usually without a proper breakfast (breakfast because we do not want to eat beans and the second in India at this time do not offer). Our journey from playful hills land of Himachal Pradesh is a paradise for newlyweds Indian and European tourists with backpacks, against the land of Punjab was no exception. We ascended from the mountains, gastronorm where Dharamsala is located, and again landed in India, he says, in Pathankot, and decided that we would give India another chance. We found the bus to our next destination, the city Amritsar, which is the capital of Punjab. Put our bags and because the bus was quite empty, Lior resigned to the station gastronorm bought a bottle of water. Just after leaving gastronorm the bus, the driver and the conductor walked, looked at Špelino direction and said something laughed loudly bus. Ten seconds later, he drove the bus driver and conductor are totally ignored Spela's request to wait a minute because it will Lior immediately returned. Thus, the laughter and joy to all the other passengers, Špelo together with all the bags thrown from the bus. Take a deep breath we wait a bit and then find the next bus to Amritsar. When we arrived three hours later, it was in darkness gastronorm and the empty streets gastronorm around the bus station we were looking for a hostel. When we thought that the day can no longer become worse when the cycle rickshaw ride through the Špela foot (fortunately gastronorm without serious injury). This again seemed to us India will disappoint, but patience paid off until the next morning when we were embraced gastronorm by the friendly Sikhs.
Amritsar is the capital of Punjab, is known primarily gastronorm for Golden Temple, the most sacred place for Sikhs. It is said that the Golden Temple is at least as impressive as the Taj Mahal, but we seem to be even more special and unique, not only because of the structure itself, but mainly because of the special gastronorm atmosphere that reigns around him. The temple itself is covered with gold and standing in the middle of the sacred pool in the central part of the temple complex. Around the lake are other buildings, all in shining white marble: Sikh Museum, the High Council of Sikhs (a kind of parliament), other temples and platforms designed to religious music, lecture and meditation, and a huge dining room and hostels for pilgrims. Look at the temple, covered with 750kg of pure gold, which is bathed in sunlight, it is extremely good, but the real charm of this temple is the life that every day takes place in the context of the complex.
Sikhs are known for their charity and hospitality, which is also reflected in the temple, which is aimed at people of all ethnic backgrounds, all religions and all races. Anyone who can stay for free in the homes of pilgrims in the context of the temple, in the dining room, where food is shared in the same manner as centuries ago, but you can throughout the day free of charge until full application knowledge. We were also joined by Sikhs in food: we sat on the floor in a series of huge dining room where our metal trays with good Indian food filled gastronorm by volunteers. The food is simple but good: everyone can get their thali, which consists of rice and Indian bread chappatija, and various currijev, lenses, yoghurt and desserts. On the outside of the temple, volunteers passers-share free hot tea and rice, visitors can also buy other subsidized drinks (Coke for someone 5 rupees?). When we hung up the shoes to the entrance to the entire temple complex is closed, we saw the volunteers who cleaned the shoes of visitors gastronorm taking singing religious gastronorm songs that were heard clear to us as follows: "We clean shoes, We clean shoes ..."
People in and around the temple were to us very friendly, very communicative and interesting. When we sat down next to one of the stages and listened to Sikh music, we approached the little girl and addressed Špelo: "Excuse me, you are very white." Spela took it as a compliment and soon we were surrounded by little Giggling dolls that we were asking this and that, and we offer bombončke. It was great to meet friendly Indians that he wanted us not only money, but they wanted to just talk.
Amritsar itself is not very interesting city, but has some hidden charms. Most attractions can be reached on foot or by bicycle rickshaw. We stayed in the Tourist Guest House (300 Rs. Suite bathroom), an old hotel, which is compressed between the highway and the railway tracks, but tired travelers still offers enough peace for a good night's sleep. However, the first night in almost Amritsarju gastronorm we did not sleep a wink the eye - just when it is preceded by a major celebration Diwalija, holiday lights, when all the Indians acquired a huge amount of fireworks, and by several hours continuously gastronorm emitted into the air on our roof and before our door . Fireworks were otherwise beautiful and we admired the lights that decorate many houses, but because of firecrackers, which the
