Last Days In Kullu
May 17, 2008 - Kulu, India
A massive thunderstorm prevented us from doing much yesterday. We relaxed at home and then visited the family's rose oil factory in the afternoon. We went to a family friend's house before tea. And that's it! Today was slightly more productive. Us girls were ready on time to leave for a trek at 10.30am, but Pragya's cousin (who had bet that he...

Last day in Delhi
May 10, 2008 - Delhi, India
Had a lie in this morning :) but then we had to pack :( We went out for lunch to a really nice cafe and ate lots. Wish we'd discovered it sooner cos we would have gone more often.
