We had a good overnight journey from Pushkar to Delhi followed by a crap all day (9 hours, average speed 18 miles per hour)journey to Dehra Dun. Followed by a 1 hour local bus up the Himalya (7000 ft) to Mussoorie. When we travelled the dehra Dun to Mussoorie road in daylight it is 22 km of hair pin bends, sheer drops and no safety barriers and the bus drivers drive as fast as possible up but slowly down. It's a bit like a roller coaster with no loop the loops. This is a famous Indian Tourist resort, a former hill station. It is stunning scenery when you can see it!! There is a lot of rain here, but it's a nice place to be.
The hotel we pre-booked wasn't up to much but we have since moved to the Honeymoon Suite in the Honeymoon Hotel (27 years to late, but it is very nice). The room has a round bed, leather armchairs and stunning views down the valley (when you can see through the clouds!).
We are staying 2 more nights and then moving on through Delhi to ............. sorry state secret!!! We are going on a first class train back to Delhi, half the journey time of the bus and they feed you- all for an extra 2 quid.
TTFN take care.
