Stalking the Dali Lama

Hello again,

I do, of course, have photos but at the moment I am travelling light and have no way to share them with you easily.

I finished my yoga ashram stay less than a week ago.  It was disappointing in several ways but I am still glad I went.  I would not, however, recommend Yoga Niketan in Rishikesh as a serious place to learn yoga ... or eat good food ...

Right now I am on my way from Macleod Gange to Leh.  I have just finished day 1 of a 3 day drive up there.  ICK.  I have however splashed out on shared jeeps as they are mush faster than the bus - in fact we may be able to do the big 2 day trip in only 1 really long day.  yipeee ...  ???? 

The Dali Lama is scheduled to speak in several places up in Ladak (the region I am going to) and I am hoping to catch him there as I think it will be a nicer and less crowded experience than seeing him in September in Dharamsala.

I will not be able to be in touch for a few weeks as email is expensive and unpredictable up there so fret not if you don't hear from me.

Love to all,

K
