Friday..... a quieter day. Advised not a good idea to enter town as there are religious demonstrations and srikes. This is prayer day.
Spent the morning working on plans for the next 2 weeks or so, and have decided to continue our search to see the 'real India'. So on Sunday morning it is off to live in gypsy villages in the mountains. The idea is to spend 10 days moving from village to village until we reach Leh; the capital of Ladakh. Here we hope to find the tranquilty, and silence that is difficult to find in towns and cities. The continual noise of car horns is tiring, and I mean tiring!
This afternoon walked what seemed to be half way around Lake Dal to reach the Moughal gardens. Ten roupee entrance fee, and well worth it, if only to escape the noise, and litter strewn streets. This whole area is referred to by Indians as paradise on earth. I can imagine why for those who escape Delhi and Calcutta. The gardens were packed with holidaying Indians, but for me the views of the snow capped peaks was exceptional.
Tomorrow will be last day here in Srinaga; so will visit a few temples, before packing and moving to the rustic life in the hills.
Therefore, I will have NO internet connection unti Leh.
