Day Four in Varanasi, our last. Rahil discovered a croquet lawn (of sorts) at the hotel and discovered that throwing the balls was easier and more fun. The highlight, though, was a daytime boat trip of the ghats, where we got a close-up of some ongoing cremations and the enormous piles of firewood necessary to maintain the fires.

Here's a link to Rahil's daytime boatride along the ghats (includes a close pass-by of a cremation ghat in action): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjzPwfuo9sw
