                    <title>Day 30 Old Manali</title>
                    <description>Woke up pretty late after last night. After about 5 minutes I received a text from Helen suggesting we meet for breakfast halfway through my reply I got another text from Steve asking the same. I met with Helen and we arranged to meet Steve and Keenan in town. We went for the very Indian option for breakfast Little Italy and waited for Steve and Keenan. As our breakfast arrived I got another te</description>

                    <description>I didnt miss the bus. An hour or so after my last post I met up with the others for lunch we got sandwiches and fresh cookies in Roasted and Toasted and ended up staying there till about 7pm joining our table with two or three others. I met a guy from London too and we spent a few minutes doing what Londoners do moaning about the price of drinks at home and the Great British weather. After </description>

                    <description>Today was the second day of activities. Got to the center by 10am ready for a morning of paragliding and zorbing.Keenen arrived and soon after we were in a jeep and on the half an hour journey along the usual bumpy roads and dodgy looking bridges to the paragliding center. Once we arrived we could see parachutes already in the air though wherever they were launching from was hidden from view b</description>

                    <description>Today was the first day of the 2 day adventure package that Keenen and i had signed up for yesterday. We had to arrive at the center at 9.30am. By 9.10 i thought it would be a good idea to stop pressing the snooze button and got up got dressed and headed down to the center. Keenen was already there and after a cup of chai i picked up my climbing shoes and a rope and the five of us headed to the r</description>

                    <description>Got up pretty late today and arranged to meet up with Damien. We met up planning to go to explore Old Manali. I realised i needed money so we decided to stop in Manali town. We found an ATM and i stuck in my card rejected. We went to another one also rejected. After the third rejection i decided to do what i had done in McLeod Ganj and found a Western Union place where I can make withdraws off </description>

                    <description>Today seems to have gone in a flash. I got up early and headed back to my hotel leaving Steve and Keenen behind. I packed up my things paid the monks for my room and headed out to find food. Before i found it i went to Green Hotel used the internet for a while and finished the last few chapters of the book i had been reading. I fancied pizza and had read in the LP guide that there was a nonveg</description>

                    <description>Had another fairly relaxed day today spent most of my time reading and walking around the town. The real excitement of the day was in the evening. Throughout the day a Tibetan guy called 39Lion Man39 had been going around handing out fliers to his 39Traditional Tibetan and World Dance Show39. Somehow he managed to find me Steve and Keenen all separately and we all decided to go. Cait</description>

                    <description>Today has not gone well so far and i have only been up for about 2 hours. I got up around 10 and decided to find the other ATM in town to see if my card worked there. No such luck. I also tried the one that hadn39t worked yesterday. Same result. I went back to the hotel and used 10 of my last 15 rupees to get my banks phone number using Green Hotels Internet. I returned to my room 15 minutes la</description>

                    <description>As is common on this trip my morning didn39t quite go as planned. I got up later than intended actually not a bad thing though as i found out the temples don39t allow nonresidents in till after 11am. I headed down to breakfast and ran into Caitlyn a woman from Richikesh who had arrived shortly before i left. She had met a few other guys called Steve and Kenen and i ended up spending most</description>

                    <description>Arrived in Dharamsala after a bumpy but uneventful 10 hour journey through the night. I sat next to an Indian man who was about to finish his Phd in education and we spoke for about half an hour before i made my jumper into a pillow and tried to get some sleep. I woke up every now and then and at one point the driver stopped and revved the engine for about 10 minutes i know nothing about cars so </description>

This did not go as planned it was mainly my fault on account of me turning off my alarm and going back to sleep till about 11. When i did finally decide to get up and I wasn39t happy about it i seemed to have dreamed that I39d done all the things i was suppose</description>

I watched for a while before packing up my thing</description>
