Hotel Angels Inn Manali

... me some chai (milk tea). I also met the rest of the family. He told me the way to get back to Vashist and after going to the most quiet and happy village I was back in Vashist.

In the evening my bus went to Dharamsala and arrived there at 04.00. I wanted to go to McCleod Ganj, where there is a Tibetan settlement of refugees. I found a place to stay for 100 Rs per night which is very cheap and I took the opportunity to go to bed ...

... smell the opium, and apparently manali is the town to get it.

And then, we took a trip down to the town, ever hearing the river flowing near us, changed money and boom! here we are at the internet cafe. I keep offering the others to write something, but they just grunt. I'm a moose.

Anyway, sorry if this lacks detail or is too detailed or is too tired sounding! I think we pretty much have to go soon. Only time for facebook. Ja mon.

this has all been -rich.

... selle koha peal teed ei ole, jääb selgusetuks, kustkohast see sinna küll kukkus.
Hakkame vaatama ringi sileda st tasase, soovitavalt rohelise ja jõe lähedal oleva telkimispaiga järgi. Puud kadusid nimelt juba ammu silmapiiri taha, rohtu mõnes kohas veel on. Viimaks jääme pidama kohta, kus jõgi on küll eemal kanjonis, aga kuna meil vett on lademes, siis pole sellest suurt lugu. Kanjonis on loodusjõud tekitanud mingid hiiglaslikke hambaid meenutavad teravikud. Enne visati Martti ...

Manali, Manali, Manali. This is the kind of place where travellers come to simply chill. We rolled into town after 14 hours on a public bus from Mc Leod Ganj and found one of the best accommodations we´d stayed in for a long time and for only $7. We ended up staying in Manali for about 5 days and really explored the valley, food and local favourites! It was the famous festival of Dawali whilst we were there which really added to the festive feel. The ...

... dexterity in my fingers and the pain relented slightly. The roads was bad but much easier going down hill as the power was there when it was needed, there were also some great stretches off road which really help keep morale up as they were beautiful and so much fun to ride on. I approached a couple more passes which were only about 3000metres but still huge compared with anything I have ever seen before but they didn't even have names. I noticed ...

Now I'm resolved. Tomorrow I'm moving over to the nearby village of Vashisht where Rittu, my reiki grand master, lives. And I don't expect to be going anywhere until I have to fly home. Today I had my first class in reiki, which included a formal initiation by the grand master. Very atmospheric and interesting. To be honest I've never believed that an initiation needs to be necessary for someone to begin healing, but I accepted it as I would accept any ...

... nasty tasting King Cobra beer, and back to write by candle light before retiring for a peaceful sleep under thick blankets, with the river rushing creating a nice music to dream by. Ahh. Manali. According to local sources, the snow up here started in mid-january, and continued until about a week ago. Remnants of this never-ending storm are still extant: huge snow-piles, icicles hanging from roofs, and best of all, a carpet of bright white on the higher peaks. The edge ...

... smrka, kiha in kaslja, kar je posledica velike spremembe klime. In tudi mi nismo nobena izjema. Sama sem namrec v teh dneh podrla rekord v kihanju, da o posmrkanih robcih zenskega dela ekipe ne govorimo:) SIcer pa smo kar v redu, kar se tice hrane, ne eksperimentiramo prevec. IZbire je ogromno, tako da se za vsajega najde kaj uzitnega in nepokocega. Lepo se imejte do naslednjega javljanja... Lepe pozdrave vam iz dezevnega Manalija posiljamo, Neva, Tomo&Irena

... it rains here it really does RAIN. About half of the people who live here are Indian and half Tibetan, there is also a lot of backpackers and many of them sound like Americans and Israelis. The Dalai Lama lives here for part of the year and yesterday I caught a glimpse of him as he was driven through the town after returning from a trip abroad, as ...
