You can't wipe the smile of Deb and my face right now. For the past 3 nights we have been staying in a glorious hotel. We have 2 rooms...each with king size beds and a bath tub where we have been soaking every night. Deb's room has a fireplace and with the nights quite cool in the Himilayas, we have enjoyed room service and a fire for the past 2 nights. Nothing quite like cold beer, wood oven pizza and a fireplace to make 2 travel tired canadian girls glow.
We were joking that we have hardly seen any of Manali and the surrounding country side because neither of us wants to leave the hotel room because it is so nice to have some luxuries.
We have gone on a couple of nice walks here...the mountains are lovely and remind us both of Alberta. Even though the shape of the mountains and the vegetation is quite different here. WE plan on doing a nice long hike tomorrow (if we can drag ourselves out of our comfortable king size beds in time :)).
On Saturday we take an overnight bus to Dharamsala...and then we have decided to not go to Rhajasthan because the papers are reporting temperatures in the high 40's...and we are not so sure we can handle that. So our friend Munnir is looking into a cottage in the mountains for us. We hope to rent one for a couple of weeks. Unpack our backpacks, cook our own meals and feel like we have a home even if it is only for a few weeks.
