summer – Pieces of Infinity

Fruit markets and tropical vibes

Posted on 2020/02/09 by Maja Li

Right now, weather here in Germany is the complete opposite of typical weather in Rajasthan; it’s cold, rainy, the sky is grey and everywhere people are going crazy bc of the storm which will hit us in few hours…but somehow I’m not that concerned. However, maybe bc of these uncomfy, rough vibes I’m missing the tropical vibes of India; the heat, the sunshine, the palm trees, the unbelievable green of the forest and the warm orange everywhere in Rajasthan…and of course the amazing fruit markets, which we found absolutely everywhere in India, selling all the fruits you can imagine…Of course super cheap and – depending on the season – also very fresh, especially the mangos…so we ended up having several mangos each day…ohhh now I’m missing these days even more…

Camping in the woods

Posted on 2020/01/06 by Maja Li

My lovely dog and me, camping in the forest at the 1th of August last summer. It’s a place near my home, deep in the woods and with a small stone circle to make a campfire, only reached by very few hikers. Also these days, in winter, I’m hiking up there often and planning to camp there again, but also to go on more and longer backpack-tours in nature this year, maybe also in other countries…

Jaisalmer – about the castle

Path through the “castle”, which is actually a small city inside of huge walls, separating the houses inside of the other parts of Jaisalmer. As the people in Jaisalmer told us, the people in the castle are living there illegally; they occupied the castle when it got abandoned long ago…and until now, they’re living there, earning their money with small shops, restaurants and through offering tours to tourists.

Pushkar

That picture I took while we drove back after exploring some villages around Pushkar (Rajasthan). There were no other tourists at all, and I really felt like on a different planet, being stared at by the few people who were outside even it was around 40°C in the shadow. However, the landscape out there’s amazing, desert-like, but still some plants, very few lakes, grass, and endless roads,just sometimes getting crossed by goats and cows.
