Well today was one of those days where everything just clicked. I woke up when my body was ready and not when an alarm clock told me to. I had a very nice breakfast of Mueslix with fresh fruit, toast and my favourite...masala tea on the rooftop restaurant of our restaurant. The view from there is of the rolling hills and the snow peaked mountains. Then Deb and I went and registered with the Tibetan World Office because as luck would have it...in a few days the Dalai Lama will be here (in his home town) doing a week long visit with public teachings. So we can attend any of these teachings now and have been told that we are guaranteed to meet him and shake his hand. My knees get weak at the thought. (Kim L I will be thinking of you on this day).
After completing that, Deb and I began a 4 hour hike up the mountain where the views were simply stunning. There was a restaurant at the top of one of the peaks where we took a moment to rest and take in all the splendour. Ahhhh...this is what travelling is all about.
We made our way down (only getting kind of lost once) and had lunch at another rooftop restaurant with a gorgeous view. Fresh salad, potato parantha and spinach momo were on the menu. Nummies! I love my momo's!
Now night has arrived and we prepare ourselves for the biggest decision of the day...where to have dinner and what beer will accompany it? Our room in our guest house has a balcony where if you sit long enough you will see eagles flying almost directly in front of you as you are perched high up on the cliffs. It is wonderful to watch them float past. Such stunning animals.
So as you can see...slowly I have fallen in love once again...this time with India.
