McLeod Ganj up on the hill... with the himalayas as a backdrop
8km's to go until I reach McLeod Ganj

Yesterday I went for a walk down the hill to Dharamsala. I went to a museum of local art, and had someone follow me around the place - I thought he was security making sure I didn't touch anything... but realised he was more interested in making money off me when he told me that i needed to pay him IR100 for taking a photo... I deleted the photo and told him it wasn't worth it... I think he was a bit disappointed.
I then took a long walk back up the hill and the above pics are from the walk... The locals all thought I was a bit mad to be walking all the way on foot... but how else would I get to experience the views at my leisure...? While I was walking two local Indian girls wanted their picture taken with me - I asked why but they didn't quite answer... So now some random people have a pic of me... Then when I was half way up the hill a tourist bus drove past and some of them were leaning out the windows to take pics of me - LOL!! like i was a wild animal that they had been hoping to see - so here, the tourist becomes the tourist attraction... ;-)
