Picture Perfection - not!

So, it's showtime girls and boys! Some scrumptious photos for your enjoyment. Instead of blabbing on forever and ever (as I have done in the past couple posts) I shall just list the photos and let you know about the location, perhaps even a little story....

1. The Trekkies
Me and Zuni (aka Nechama back at home) cuddling upto avoid the chill. It got to minus at night time, and so my furry jacket (next picture) proved to be quite useful.









2. Furry Jacket
Giving a cheeky grin!













3. Zuni, Myself and Remi aboard Raja and Sultan














4. Zuni and myself in front of Visha Lake (our final destination of the trek)















5. Remi (our guide), Zahur (we called him Pokerface as he couldn't hide his emotions during the endless games of Rummy), Manzur and Rashid cooking up a storm!



















6. The Trekking Gang all together!















7. Bashir's party preparations














8. The meat mallet production line at Bashir's house














9. Slaughtering of the goats before our eyes - the Halal way of course!














10. Kashmiri peak hour (just a glimpse!)



















11. Kashmiris smiling for my camera



















12. The Boathouse...
















































We're leaving our quiet little oasis of Dharmasala today for Agra to see the Taj Mahal. This is such a special place - I recommend anyone that is considering travelling to India to visit this hill station. It puts you at peace.

Hi Sar,
WOW! What an amazing time it seems like you are having! I am so jealous. Rosh Hashana was beautiful as always but VERY quiet without you, Bun and Els.
Missing you.
Love Carly xoxo
