I've been amazingly crap at updating this blog. So far we've been through Delhi, Rishikesh (where yoga was born), Amritsar, to the border between Pakistan and India, and we're now at McLeod Ganj, where the Dalai Lama led the Tibetans to after being exiled from Tibet by China.

It's up a mountain so we can actually see the clouds around us. Took a 2 hour train, a 4 hour bus and another 45 min bus to get here. Its great to be able to put our stuff down and chill out for a bit. Traveling is actually a pain in the arse...

Delhi was full on. A bit too in your face and with so many people constantly asking you questions or trying to jip you, your guard is constantly up, which is a shame as there are genuinely friendly people that just want to chat, or help.

Up here is great. Its full of Tibetan people, buddhist monks and other travellers. Our balcony overlooks a big valley.

hopefully the photos will be a bit more interesting..

Also touch wood, havent got ill yet and everything is running like a well oiled machine. Although Ive got a bloody toothache which has been keeping me up at night. Am gonna trial this Tibetan dentist tomorrow. She only opened today and was having some sort of religious ceremony so I had to book for 2moro. Hopefully I am not her first and last patient.

Beautiful balcony
That is an extremely awesome photo of you on the balcony! I wish I was there, *sigh*

Hope that tooth feels better soon too!
