Phuentsholing

Saturday 4^thNovember



On the road most of today heading for Phuentsholing where our India guide will meet us for our trip to Darjeeling.

What a shit hole!!!!<span> The town, the hotel and our rooms – complete and utter shit! Ive never slept on a harder bed. It was like concrete.

The town lies opposite the much larger Indian bazaar town of Jaigaon, separated by a flimsy fence and the much- photographed Bhutan Gate. <span> Clearly, the only reason to come here is to clear immigration

We had dinner with a lovely London girl, Jane. She’s travelling on her own, and the look on her face was identical to mine when she arrived.<span> On the upside, we had a beautiful dinner with Jane, Palden and Tsering.
