The day we arrived at McLeod

It was 6.30 in the morning it was a relief to find Sabu, the taxi driver, waiting for us. We sank gratefully into the taxis big seats... Sabu drove us to a lovely but expensive hotel/restaurant. After empting our now full bladders, we sat down and had a light breakfast. We (meaning Abbey and Frances) filmed some scenes for a clip we are making.

Our family hopped back in the car after breakfast and Sabu drove us along a winding road going ever higher into the Himalayan foothills. Along the way we crossed two bridges that had a sign saying 'Bridges Damaged, only small cars and buses crossing'... I (Frances) was quite tense about going over the second, there were already four or five car/trucks on the 'DAMAGED BRIDGE'(!!!!!). Once we had crossed that bridge we continued to climb up and up. There were monkey's on a concrete slab around a big tree. They were so cute. There were little ones and big ones, it was cool. There were also some ponies and mules. It was fun watching the ponies walking around the streets of McLeodGanj. When we finally arrived

McloedGanj Sabi walked so fast up the steep winding alleyways that we had to sprint (with our HUGE packs on our backs) to keep up with him!!!

The house we are staying in is so small but so cosy. A lady called Antoinette came and showed us around McLeod and we found out that she was cricket fan and a BOLLY WOOD MOVIE FAN TOO! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! . Antoinette is the Guru of 5 Tibetans (a type of yoga that makes your tummy flat in six months). We organised for us to do a morning 'class' with her the next day!!! We ate lunch at a beautiful café then went home to settle in. Oh! I forgot we had a butter scotch ice cream.
Later we went to find a wi fi café we found one out of a million and had a drink and went and checked our emails but did not reply to any of them (sorry to the people that want a reply ). Any way after we went to the wi fi cafe I had to go to the toilet ( you don't want to know any more do you...?). Mum and I (Frances) walked up a street and found a shop that was selling stuff for Rs.30!  I got some really nice white pants and I looked at some really nice tops. We all looked at more shops and then went home and to bed.
