Day 631 - Bumping it to Bodhgaya

As we got off the train today at 5am we were bombarded by rickshaw drivers who had all correctly assumed we were going to Bodhgaya, and incorrectly assumed we could afford to get our our rickshaw there. Instead we waited for sun-up, while sipping on chai, and then caught a share rickshaw that bumped and bashed us there for a tenth of the price!

Once in Bodhgaya we searched for a good room, and then promptly fell asleep! The accumulated weariness of 5 days travel and 4 days hard sleeping, we felt a snooze was well deserved. The Adlibing adventure isn't always a holiday in many respects, and although we're not working we feel like we work for our experiences!
When we finally woke up we had our first shower in 5 days and found food, which made our new location seem that much more enjoyable! We soaked up a bit of the street atmosphere,checking out some of the Buddhist temples and glancing at stalls full of Buddhist bags, clothing, prayer beads, and all other things associated with Buddhism. Despite the sleep we were too tired to do much more and headed back to our books for our first night's sleep in a bed in far too long!
