Sunday : Overcast Well the skies are still cloudy, so that means no plans again for today. Kim wants to check out all the clothes shops and markets, so that's it then. We got up and went outside into some quite chilly weather looking for a place to have some breakfast. The place had an interesting name for sausage, eggs, beans on toast. 'The Simpleton' I had to get it, and it wasn't too bad. Next was a walk through the streets looking for some shops. It didn...

Saturday : overcast Ooo wee it was chilly today, it was perfect down jacket wearing weather. We left the room earlyish, but still not too early for a nacho and pizza breakfast.

Darjeeling is 2134m high and hopefully if the skies are clear we will see Khangchendzonga, the worlds third highest peak. It's in west Bangal, nicely t...

Wednesday : fine Finally got a sleep in today, we have no tour and no plans. We went and got breaky around 9am then went back to the room and watched a movie. Checkout time came around, so we packed up and put our bags into the hotel storage. Still no wifi today, so we left the hotel and went out onto the busy streets looking for a chemist, I'm in need for some more cough medicine. On the way back to the hotel we stopped off at a restaurant and had some food ...
