Polo match in Leh


The polo match was really interesting. We had good places to see the whole ground. At first we had to wait for quite a long time because some minister was arriving late and everyone waited for him. As soon as he was there, the game could start. Polo is actually very similar to soccer. The six players and one referee are riding, the ball is smaller and there is no outline at the sides, but you still have to score goals, you have line referees and a goal keeper. After a goal, the sides are changed immediately and the team that scored is allowed to take the ball until the middle line and start playing again. One game lasts two times 20 minutes and we left after the first half to have dinner.

After eating, Annetraud and I went into the Cybercafe and I uploaded all the blogs from the last days and checked the nearly 80 mails I got. The connection sometimes broke down and it took ages until I was finished and I hadn’t even started with the pictures yet...
