So still here in McLeod Ganj and loving it loving it loving it. Went to the English lesson with my monk who speaks no English and it was fab. I have nicknamed him godfather monk as he looks like a don and has the graveliest voice I have ever heard.  He is keen to learn and he knows his abc so I just wrote question and answers down and got him to read them out loud and hopefully he understands what he is saying. It really amazes me what can be understood by sign language. He is a real sweetie and gave me and Sophie chocolate and oranges when we left. Have got 2 more sessions with him then we outta here :(

Have met some very cool people of late. Maureen and Eve are 2 women in their 60's who travel around together. They have grown up kids and are retired so this is what they are doing with their free time. They have been friend's for 42 years and used to go hitchhiking from UK to Spain and various other places in the 60's. They were so much fun and we met them a couple of nights for a drink. Me and Sophie are hoping that is us in the future. Still travelling and having a laugh together. Grainne the Irish girl we met is an absolute scream and we have been having a great laugh with her. We hope we can meet up with her again in Nepal. Sophie went home early the other night so me and Grainne stayed out partying. We ended up getting pretty pissed and ended up back at a friend's house where we both passed out.  Had a quiet night though last night and just sat outside on our balcony looking at the mountains and birds etc. It is a view I don't think I could ever get bored with.

We are hoping to get motorbikes out tomorrow and do a little road trip possibly to Manali with the boys. I shant be driving as I think if I do it is highly likely I will end up going off the side of the mountain! Manali is another Hill station in the Himalayas and is supposed to be even more beautiful than here.   Will let you all know how that goes until then kaley shoo xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
