Om Mani Padme Hum
The temple at the Dalai Lama's monastery, monks doing their laundry nearby, and
carved and painted mantras.
It's so overwhelming, that I heard someone actually say: "oh, is he back here? I
thought he was in India."

Around Dharamsala

before the weather changes.

McCleodganj, from roof tops
16 May. Here we are. This is the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan

foreign tourists in apparently equal numbers.

One more night on the train
(viewed 464 times)
Fortunately, it becomes easy to get a good night's sleep almost everywhere.
We arrive at 4.30am in the middle of nowhere, and get a taxi for the one-hour
ride to Dharamsala. I feel sea sick...

Delhi!
15 May. Off the train for a few hours. We hire a cheap room in an interesting hotel,
behind the cow, have a shower, and tour the terraces to watch the world go by.
