Happy Holi Day....

Ok so this has to be one of my craziest days so far... and maybe the most agressive i have experienced. Across India and Nepal they celebrate the day that 'god conquered evil' on the 3rd March, by basically, everyone going around and throwing paint at eachother, and of course being a tourist you're the biggest victim!!!! The kids, and even full-grown men i might add, were literally bundling me and smering paint all over me... i was covered from head to toe!!
Even despite the odd mouthful of paint or finger in the eye we had a brilliant time though - was such good fun and just completely mad!!! You honestly couldn't leave your hotel without being covered. I had pink hair for the week after the festival and now own a bright pink watch instead of a nice blue one. Joy joy! And this is all coming from a girl who doesn't like pink! (Keren!!)
