Amritsar photos!

We left Delhi...


...and Amritsar was at the end of a long day on the bikes - our first day back on motorbikes!!! :) It's a bustling city...


With lots of history...this is Jallianwala Bagh, where the British troops opened fire on the crowd in the park. You can read more about it here: Jallianwala Bagh Massacre on Wikipedia


It is also near the Pakistan border...


But the main attraction of Amritsar is the Golden Temple...


...and thousands of people visit it every day. It is the holiest temple for Sikhs.




Do you recognize the pilgrim on the right? :)


There is a subtle form of security...


The walls around the complex are coverend in many war memorials...


We thought the clock face was great, though hard for me to tell time on (I prefer digital :)


The morning we left we loaded up on some caffiene ladled out by this gentleman :)
