Our Sikkim trip: A comedy of mishaps (Part 5)

26th May 2010 – Rainy and cloudy village

The next day (26th May 2010) the clouds started pulling in and eventually showers started. We had some breakfast with some puris (too oily for us) and tried going out with umbrellas and raincoats but could not go far from the hotel. My daughter got excited seeing a family of hens and wanted to catch them. My daughter (in a raincoat) feeding the chicks

We had our lunch outside in a small shop. Gradually the sky became clear and around five o’clock my wife, my daughter and I started a little trek on a nearing hill on the way to a monastery at the top while our mothers were resting at the hotel. It was a beautiful view at the top. We could see a thin line of white peaks including Kanchenjunga. It took approximately two hours for us go up and get down from the hill.

At the night we took our familiar dinner items at the hotel and went to sleep after taking some snaps of the night sky and the moon surrounded with clouds. I requested for a car at the reception pretty early in the evening to go to our next destination (Rinchenpong) next day but they could not confirm me before the next morning.
