Day 19

HERE I AM STANDING in the street with the mo mo steamer I purchased.  With the obvious cold, I was wearing the Nepali style hat that I had purchased.  It was knitted and very warm.  Grab the braids and tie them under your chin and you’re even warmer.  So with the bananas under my arm, and my camera on the ready I was ready to head for the hotel!

COOKS IN THE KUNGA Restaurant (Tibetan) where we had some delicious meals.

YOUNG LADY walking through the market area.  I loved the hat!

Day 15

ROOM A8 in the Dekeling Hotel, Darjeeling was where we spent 10 days.  A very homey, friendly atmosphere.  We enjoyed the pot-bellied stove in the main lounge area!
