Again we say goodbye to our new friends and home stay family. We received prayer shawls from Yeshe and Billy which was lovely. After photos all round and well wishes for everyone's future travel we waved goodbye, ready to leave and move on to new adventures, but also sad to leave such a beautiful and unique area of India. We have a new understanding of the Tibetan people's plight and also how they have over the years made a home for their families in India through shear hard work and determination.
They are a very gentle and humble people who devote a lot of their time to prayer and devotion, both to their beliefs, family and community. It has also given us an insight to the Budist Monks and their life in the monestry., and how some of them came to be there.
Our hotel is better than expected and even has a shower with hot water which is a treat after four weeks of bucket showers, which I quite like to be honest. The recipe is two jugs of water boiled in the electric jug, pour into big bucket and top up with cold water to desired temperature. To shower scoop water out with your small scoop. Pour water over yourself, lather up, then rinse. Squeaky clean.
Tomorrow head to the famous Golden Temple, which is a Sheik temple. We have just been sorting out our headwear as we need to be covered up.
