Shimla in the sun

After the horrendous rains of the first day we have enjoyed glorious sunshine in our stroll around this hill station. The papers here are full of the damages caused to their crops by the torrential rains and of tourists standed by the snows higher up. The curse of 'Worthy' strikes in all corners of the world(fao Marsha).
Just been disturbed by the Macaque monkeys running over the corrugated tin roof. As they patrol around town the have a swagger and will menace anyone foolish enough to openly carry food. This is in contrast to the delightful Languar monkeys we passed on the way to the Glen for today's walk. Pictures later but this connection is on dial up and is painfully slow. Shimla is fascinating with its heritage of old colonial buildings slowly losing their shine. It is very popular with the Indian tourists but only a few back packers are evident, overall it exudes a calm and gentle ambience. Just the job before we start the hectic tourist bit.
