Travelling North to Manali

Another early start and a train trip North, first class carriage, pretty impressive they serve biscuits and tea, plus Indian foods if you want but we didn't risk it, we have managed so far to dodge the Delhi belly  but both Deane & I have ended up with fever & flu from the AC in the car & hotel, plus I think all the dust and pollution has contributed.

Thankfully it hasn't stopped us from doing anything but it is a real pain not feeling 100% !

the train took us from New Delhi to Chandigarh, a 3.5 hour trip

We stayed overnight and then got a driver from Chandigarh to Manali (a 9 hour day trip) at the foothills of the Himalayas ... pretty awesome scenery and views.
