Next stop...

October 19th, 2008.

As I have grown tired of this town, I plan to move further north. At first I was planning to go to Dharamsala, home of the Dalai Lama, with this Japanese girl I had met here, but things didn't go as planned, as we were supposed to depart today and catch the bus there, but as this is India, the bus scheduals got screwed up and there were eventually no buses heading that way at this time. She seemed very eager to leave today, no matter what, rather stressed, but I wanted to take it easy and not rush out. Another day or two doesn't matter for me, as things take their own time here. So she left, and I have come to another conclusion and am pondering to change my destination to the town of Shimla. There are some nice valleys just north of Shimla, and it would be better to go there first considering the season is changing now. I would like to see this before it gets too cold, as perhaps might be the case in November. You'll soon find out what I decided.

Shimla (Simla) the next stop? At 2100 m.s.l. in October it's time to go for the extra clothes. Get some local shimlaites clothing :-)

Should be quite a few british colonial era buildings around there and a nice scenery. Take a look at the Kalka-Shilma railroad which should be quite spectacular with it very steep climbing, if it's not too expensive due to the amasses of tourists during the year.

Relax with some nice freshly made local tea or milk tea if swinging that way.

Whoa! Was I the first one to comment? Timezones rock!
