not the usual

Things are still mental. Can you chill out in India? Not even if you book a weeks holiday in a war zone? No chance. I've been in staying on a lakeboat in Srinagar, like Michael Palin did in Himalaya. It was possibly the nicest place i've ever been, bar Hexham. Instead of chilling out I embarked on a 4 day trek in to the Himalayas. It was beautiful, odd, scary and weird. Two nights ago i was in the mountains at 16,000 feet with 6 pony's, a campfire and 3 guides singing and banging drums to yellow submarine. I don't know why. I couldn't see yesterday as I had snow-blindness. Today my eyes are red, which matches my face, but I'm happy enough. I'm going to Bikaner tomorrow. I think there are elephants there. I'm off for some food.
