Itinerary

Theoretically, we were supposed to go to the Ajanta Caves today, but our strength had left us — both physical and emotional. Yes, it probably sounds strange, but apparently our brains aren’t used to processing so much information, and from so much that we saw, the emotions and impressions, we were very tired. We wanted to do nothing and go nowhere.

But we still went out. At the very least, to eat — we ordered sheera for breakfast (or lunch?) — it’s sweet semolina with butter, nuts, and raisins, and it turned out to be very tasty.

Then we walked around the bazaar looking for pants for Volchy. Pants are a problem here: there are lots of jeans, but almost none like the ones we needed. They’re all kind of silly — either too thick, or with elastic at the bottom, or too short. It was very hot, and we went back home.

In the evening, we finally bought pants, the best-fitting ones we had seen. They had elastic at the bottom, but Volchy somehow ripped it out, and they turned out quite fine.
