Paintings & Pashminas

Morning flows and meditations that say just that. Go with the flow.

After our paintings and pashmina purchases, a tonne of laughs, Belle trying on all the colours. We were given the hot tips to visit the Jain Temple at Ranakpur — which has 1444 pillars. 

The drive is a fun mix of Indian and Aussie tunes, a monkey jumping on the bonnet and a windy road all the way down mountains.  

We arrive, and this temple feels different, I connect instantly. It’s quiet, no shoes and we are given a scarf to wear. The silence gives us time to meditate in here, the energy is intense. As we wander around marvelling at its beauty and the intricate work that has gone into this building. 

The day continuing as a surprise, a quick coffee, and takeaway pizza, I know I don’t even eat it in Australia yet here I am with a wood fire pizza slice in hand, in the back of a Safari jeep on my way to spot leopards. What.

India so full of surprises. This is what happens when you say yes.

We see a mother and her baby cubs, such a special moment as I watch them playing through the binoculars, even though they are only a few metres away. 

After a long day, a beautiful dinner lakeside is required.
