... which seriously happens once every 5 mins but whatever. We are in the wonderful and windy Wangsu Prodshan. We left Thimpu this morning and travelled through some steep, frosty mountains. On our way we saw some of the Himalayas covered in snow. As it was a nice, clear day we had a good view of them. We went on to have morning tea at a very rustic cafe and i tried some traditional butter tea. After lunch we visited the Dragon nest Zong (temple) which was built in the sixteenth century and is made of stone and wood products. We learnt a lot about the monks and Buddhist Wheel of life. Monks are dedicated to their life when six or seven years old! The temple was full of roosters that the monks looked after for farms. We spent some time at the local shops and saw some Fosters beer for sale. We spoke with a young girl and met her family who all helped run the shop and she gave us bubble gum.
We're eating big meals including some with chillies.
Bye for now Eliza and kathie.
