Although we were in the same country we felt we were in a different part of the world altogether. Apricots, plums, cherries, strawberries. We ate so much, very sweet and you dont get them in Goa. I remember we got a big box of cherries and within 2 days it was all over. Hmm.. I blame Rutuja for eating the maximum.

Loading ...Dont remember ever getting up very early during work days, but this was a holiday, we started dead early to go to Rotang pass. We stopped at a place for hot tea, I think it was me, screaming for it as it was unbearably cold.
We finally reached Manali, and rushed to our rooms, The windows were huge and the view from the place was awesome. And we cheepos managed to get this awesome place, very clean and good food, for just Rs 4 per day (to translate it in other currencies Rs 4 = £ 0.05 = 0.06€ = $0.08), its a guest house and hence the rates were subsidized.

A better view of river Vyass, again on the way to Manali. Although we were dead tired from the long trip from Delhi that too in a car, we were all wide awake and active to see all this.
Its nice to see some places on Earth still lush green, hope our kids get to see this too. Seeing this made me remember the quote… “We do not inherit the earth from our fathers. We borrow it from our children”.
Even the goats look nice on a holiday, this was on our way to Manali, shot from a car window, we were patiently waiting for the VIP convoy to pass, before we move on.

Located at Old Goa, its a huge tourist attaction as the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier are held here. “Bom Jesus” means “Infant Jesus” as far as I know. A public viewing of the body is held every 10 years.
