This morning was different. It rained a lot! This meant we had a much longer breakfast at our hotel.
The rain came to an end at lunchtime, so we headed on the local bus from New Shimla up the hill to the Mall. The mall is a pedestrianised street that runs for 7km. It is full of shops, restaurants and old colonial buildings. Sadly some of the old colonial buildings had seen better days. One is where apparently Rudyard Kipling started writing the Jungle Book.
The views are amazing in Shimla and we are up in the clouds. It is cold here so we both needed our wooly hats on. Christine's was made in South Africa by an expert and Darryl's was made by Christine!
A lot of the afternoon was spent drinking coffee and chatting, first to some friendly people from Ireland followed by 2 Indian teachers, who were so kind to us and super smiley!
A different meal tonight, Sweetcorn soup. Very healthy!
