Tomorrow puts us back on the road. A 14 to 24 hour bus ride on the non-ac down to delhi. Ive grow quite fond of manali, but its time to leave her behind. I get free coffee and snacks at the bob Dylan coffeeshop and most of the locals say hello and are quite jovial to us now as they’ve become accustomed to us passing everyday. we’ve had friends come and go, I ran into marcel on his way to delhi the other day, he gave me a ride to kullu and we had a bite to eat on the way, he’s headed to meet his dad and go motorcycling with him for his 60th for a couple of days.
The more people I meet the more I realize how much more of the world there is to see. Our main man from israel, david, headed up north to leh this morning, and we will meet the pomes (prisoners of mother England) for lunch in a few hours. Its interesting how much more you open yourself up to meeting new acquaintances while one the road.
We are on a bit of a schedule I suppose, the three day boat to the andamen islands leaves on the 25th, and we need to be down there with ample time to board her with all the necessary paperwork.
The mornings have been gorgeous blue skies, leaving the snow capped peaks in full view. But it has turned to torrential rains in the afternoons the last two days, leaving us holed up in one spot or another sipping a chai and reading. Robert Ludlum has become a staple, his books being cheaper at the local bookshop than most everything else. Good action filled vacation reading.
yaaaaaaak...these fellows were sauntering through manali the other night, we caught sight of them from the bob dylan cafe.
a bit of cricket, a gentlemans game if you can figure out what the hell is going on, this was up in the small village that tuesday brought us too, just before we went to the wedding.
the man responsible...this is tuesday, i wiry little fellow, with more energy than a three year old on speed.
a view from baragram, the small town that tuesday brought us to.
a more recent photo, me, harriet, and our friend david holed up in the room at the appleview cottage. david and harriet were talking longterm by the next morning, parisien honeymoons and the sort:) a pome looking for commitment
