Todays weather was terrible, windy and raining!

Jack and I got bus times to get away from the bad weather in Manali and booked a bus heading South towards the warmer climate. We booked it for the evening to Shimla about 10 hours from Manali.

The shoes that I had bought in China were ruined by now and were soaking up the rain water into my socks so I went off to buy a new pair, I paid rs800 ($20) not so bad, but they are cheap Indian but hopefully they will last.

We wasted the miserable day away by chilling, watching a film and sleeping until our bus departed at 9.40pm.

We opted for the semi-deluxe bus because Jack being 6”4’ he has trouble fitting into all public transport vehicles. I was quite happy paying the little bit extra because of the reclining seats.
