Golden Temple

After a two plane rides and a couple bus rides we made it to Amristar! What a beautiful city. We were only there for less than a day but it was extremely relaxing. The hotel we were staying at was much nicer than the previous places. I mean, it was no Four Seasons but it had western toilets so we were all happy. This was the point on the trip where almost everyone got sick. I was still having diarrhea, many others were too, and a few people started throwing up. But! We are all alive and functioning!
We went to the Golden Temple, it was incredible. There almost aren't words to describe the experience. It was so nice not to be surrounded by other tourists but it also made us more of a spectacle. We had a Sikh guide who was extremely knowledgeable. He took us through the temple and told us all about his religion and the temple itself. Halsey says it's more beautiful than the Taj Mahal!
Now, after a 6 hour bus ride we are in Dharamsala. So beautiful. Feels more like home than anywhere else we've been so far. And monks are some of the nicest people I've ever met.
Having a blast and can't wait to come home and share all our stories!
