FINALLY we're here in Daramsala yay! After travelling by plane, train and automobile for the last 70 hours we got to a guest house at 11 this morning. This place is just fab we are staying in Bhangu just outside Mcleod Ganj in a lovely guest house and when we open our door we look out onto the Himalayas. It's bloody freezing though, Am so pleased I bought a pair of thights with me and a warm hat so we are just layering up and hopefully won't freeze to death in our exceptionally cold room. Had a nap this afternoon and when I woke up I couldn't feel my toes it took me 20 minutes to muster up the courage to get out from the sleeping bag so god knows what tonight will be like. Am on a mission to buy some think socks to wear to bed with hat and gloves should be snug. We are hopefully moving rooms tomorrow one which has a shower with warm water. We just had some lunch I had tibetan noodles in soup (thampa) which are gorgeous, just sitting on a balcony overlooking mountains. I honestly feel like have died and gone to heaven. Being here makes me realise why I wanted to come to this amazing place, even the cold is bearable.
The mountains are snowcapped and everywhere I look there are Buddhist monks. Is it wrong of me to find them hot?? Some are very cute maybe it's the bloke in a skirt thing that does it for me that or me hormones which ever I must get a grip.
The Dalai Lama is here at the mo so will go and hear one of his talks tomorrow. We are also gonna check out a day trek to get us in training for the big one in Nepal. Anyway off to get a warm drink and do some shopping. God the shops are fab I could shop for ever here, so much cool stuff but jut no room in the backpack. Adios for now xoxo
