Kalimpong

Tea, tea everywhere!

Road signs in India are so much more interesting.

We stayed in an old Maharaja’s summer house in Kalimpong, think we might have actually been in his room.  It was really old and creaky, and a bit like the Shining (especially as we were the only people there for the first night).  This was the view from our window just before sunrise.

Some girls who started following us around town.

The fantastically named Ringkingpong Monastery.  We were planning to get there for sunset but it took 5 times longer to walk there than our book said so it was dark and foggy by the time we got there, but quite cool nonetheless.
