Today it was roughly a 100km trip to the Ajanta Caves. The bus almost made it there until an accident blocked the road. I waited in the bus, but some other people went out for a look. They came back, grabbed their bags and left. I was only 4km from the caves, so I decided to just walk the rest of the way. I came upon the accident: a truck carrying rolls of sheet metal fell over going around a curve of this mountain road. When I got there, a crane started to move the truck off the road. An Indian walking with me said the driver’s dead body was on the road. I guess he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
I finally made it to the caves, which are a little similar to Ellora Caves. These ones have a lot of paintings all over the walls and ceilings. They are all in a horseshoe shaped canyon. Too bad it is the dry season because it looked like there is a nice waterfall here sometimes. These caves were setup a little better. No bats and they had special lighting in most places.
Afterwards, I flagged down a bus for the 100km back to Aurangabad. After going an hour, there was some problem with this bus and everyone was forced off. After nearly an hour wait, everyone had to squeeze on some other buses back to the city. All these problems made it a long day.
A camera note, the flash has started working again. As strange as it stopped working.
