Rockin' Rishikesh II

So I thought I would take a little weekend getaway to Rishikesh this weekend. Why not right? It is an easy 2 hours on the motorcycle along some great road. I went down there Friday night, Saturday I rented a kayak (Drago Rosi) and kayaked the Ganga between Shivpuri and Riskikesh. It was a nice little stretch. Exciting after not being in a kayak for 9 months. There was one big ol' rapid about like a medium/ large sized on on the Grand Canyon. Big waves. Now I can add another country to the list of places I have kayaked. Sorry no pictures, I didn't bring the camera, didn't feel like keeping up with it. Another reason I went was to do some souvenir shopping. Did some of that, went OK. Got some nice things. Anyway, that's it. It was nice to get away from here for a while.
