Sorry we could not get internet access for a week due to a cyclone.
So here is an update......
Darjeeling
We got up at 4am and saw the sunrise over the mountains and the snow covered slopes of Katchenjunga.
Visited the Happy valley tea estate selling tea exclusively to Harrods and had a tea lesson on super fine tippy golden flowery orange peco one - even tasted some brewed for 5 seconds....
We went off to the hills and spent a night in a a trekkers hut at 10,000 feet at Tonglu. In fact we were the only people there and fortunately did not take the bed suggested which had rain dripping on it during the night. We walked down the next day in the sunshine taking about 4 hours.
Next stop was Mirik which boasts a large lake, excellent food, horse riding and pedaloes! We took the pedaloe and sampled the food.
It was about 4hrs on the road before we got back to Kalimpong in a jeep with 17 aboard. Very hot and squashy.
We said goodbye this morning ...had a wonderful trip to Bhutan last week.
Now we have a night here before flying to Delhi and two nights there before flying home to UK.
If you think you are having hot weather you should try this!!!
