WEllll just got back from 4 days in Shimla actally we got back on wed morn, the time we had in shimla was awesome. we bascally went ot the market everyday and i bought 2 new salwaar kameze for only 360R so i was veryimpressed. i also bought a new pair of shoes silver this time and a barrette and yeah just random other crap. ooo i also bought an indian cosmo!

on the friday night phillipa celia elyse and i took the bus to shimla and arrived at 545 in the morning having no idea where to go and being hassled like crazy by all the touts. we got stalked by on eall the way to the YMCA until Daisy told him to Piss Off. We spent the day not doing much cos everyone was totally exhausted but that night we went out for a really yummy meal at a restaurant. it was sooo good to see Dayel, Daisy, Jo and Julia again and just to hang out like a big group again. WE basiacally spent the rest of the time just hanging around and seeeing thigns, like Dayel's monastry ( i thought we had a massive walk to school but its nothing compared to his walk up to the monastry.) we also found everyones new obessesion Cafe Coffee Day! the most western thign in India and serves awesome milkshakes, brownies, cakes etc

oont eh monday it was Elyses birthday so we went out for a birthday lunch for her but she stayed in bed so we celevrated it for her! on the sunday night we went to a bar just down from the YMCA with the intention of drinking. However Dayel Jo and i were the only people who had cocktails. after a while we went back to the YMCA and played truth or dare that was mianly truth while Jo and i drank vodka with Limca (almost like a Rusky) and Dayel had Beer. i found out ltos about all the other people that i wouldnt have guessed. Finylaly ont eh tuesday night we left back for Naggar. Dayel looked like he was going to cry, no one really wanted to go back cos we were all having so much fun

Last week on Tuesdat mum came! Annie Peta and her had come all the way to see me so on the tuesday i showed them around the house and then went and stayed the night in teh Castle in Naggar. to have a real shower was soo amazing! we had breakfast ont the terreace the next day with possibly the worlds most amazing place to eat. i then took them for a walk to the school to meet the kids and teachers and the god crazy principal. within 5 mins of talking to the principal mum peta and annie finally understood i wawsnt exagerating abot her craziness godliness. we then drove to Manali witha a driver annd sat around at the Hotel. we had lunch at Johnsons Cafe and i foudn my new llove for chocolate cake! it was heaven! we then went to solang valley and near the rotang pass the next day. it was sooo good to have mum around,. although i did feel sorry for her with the amount of things she had to rbing for me. on friday dad finally rang to say wed bought a new house as well which was really exciting

i guess on fridya i didnt think to much of her leaving cos i was going to shimla so i was really excited about that. but then yesterday i finally got homesick and bawlwed my eys out. i really hate it here. the family are amazing its just that i cant stand sitting in the school all day doing nothing. i came here to teach and im not doing it. yesterday i decied im going to leave amonthe early to travel with daisy and dayel. i cant bear it here. i feel as thought iv done somehitng to help but its not really waht i intended so theres not much point hanging around.

well thats my life for now. in manali atm just haning out as we usually do

missing everyone sooo much

luv you all
