Shimla

03/09/10 Hill top town - built by the British Raj to escape the summer heat.  Now a popular Indian holiday destination.  It rains a lot.  10 degrees ish.  Lots of trees.  We think its a bit like Wales but more monkeys than sheep.

Very cool layers of stacked buildings (Pixar style).  There was a landslide last night taking away a big chunk of road, so not sure how safe it is. Ooo err

Holiday = Ice Cream

Rhesus Macaques Monkeys guard Jakhu Temple (of the monkey God, Hanuman, sweet;)

  1. How do you like Shimla? Hope you can see some of the views for the mist.The land slide sounds a bit scary. The temple was where we filmed the baby monkey, did they give you sticks (or rather try to sell you sticks) to protect yourself?
    There's also a Grace Beauty Parlour off one of the main streets.
