When I say we drove over Mountains
Did I mention that they were HUGE HIMALAYAN mountains·
Supposed to leave at 7.30am today for Dharamshala which is a 12 hour journey, but Tim had to wake Shaleem up to make our breakfast and then Gulaam had to pick a “friend” who was taking the journey there too (in the car we had paid for). Finally were on the road at 8.40. Arrived at our destination 13.5 hours later after absolutely hair raising drive through the mountains, along a plain and then through and up and up and up some more mountains. I worked on the basis that Gulaam was over 50 years old and had driven that route [View Full Entry]

Roller Coaster - one minute I am enjoying myself and the next the whole thing feels a disaster! In spite of telling the bank our plans our debit card failed to work on our last morning in Delhi. Panic! Many hours and a flight later having spoken to our contact in Kashmir who tells us he will see that we can get to a phone to call the bank tomorrow we feel a little better.

Getting ready to leave. Sad in many ways as, you have to admit that Autumn is seriously one of the four best seasons of the year in England.
