In Manali....

Reached Manali @ 1200 hrs...

The Volvo though comfortable took a li'il extra long to reach...
2 hours in Delhi after departure, traffic jams, longer then required pit-stops at places you do not want to stop at have been the highlight so far...

Expense Statement:
50 bucks for the bags in the Volvo... it’s more like a tip...
265 bucks for something close to dinner near Pipli, Kurukshetra...

Plans from here...
We got down from the bus and rushed straight to Hotel Himgiri, near the Telephone Exchange... Parvez, the guy who has arranged for our stay in Leh, gave us a nice tip to save some money…

Instead of a cab based in Manali, we are hiring a cab based out of JK, which means some money saved… Instead of an expected 10000 bucks we should be able to get the cab in about 7000 bucks… and its a SCORPIO... not too old... the last seat is like those high end versions still with the plastic covers on :)

We plan to be in Keylong tonight… and then move to Leh from there tmrw morning…
While I am posting away to glory here… the rest of the gang is downstairs, ordering nice Chinese food in the Café Chopsticks…

May God be with us…

Amen…
