Friday 2nd July caught an early bus from Ajanta to Ellora via Aurangabad; arrived 3 and half hours later in Ellora, as usual tired, and half deaf.
Soon found a cheap room in the back area of a main hotel, and was informed that normally it wasn't used (not very promosing). On entering the room the smell of damp wasn't that encouraging, but it was a place to sleep for the night. Two hours later the sky darkened, and the heavens opened........688mm of rain in a few hours. The damp room rapidly turned into a swimming pool, with water pouring in through the ceiling, and a river of water pouring through the electrical box. So spent a very damp night with little sleep, but at least managed to pay 200 rupees less than originally quoted.
Found out in the morning that not far away one person was dead, and maybe more upsetting to a farmer ; 15 of his goats drowned. Therefore this morning moved into another room behind a restaurant just next door. Clean, dry, but as always intermitent electricty. Things don't changed.
