Not much to write about for today's travel blog post about Darjeeling. It was basically just a day off. I went for a wander, did some sightseeing in Darjeeling, and filled in time until to Toy Train the following day.
Sightseeing in Darjeeling
Thursday 15/01/04
Had a big breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and then went for a walk around the town. I don't know what it is about Darjeeling, but anywhere else I can find my way easily, but not here!
Anyway, I eventually located observatory hill, which does have some great views, but unfortunately, it was too cloudy to take any photos. Saw three eagles circling high, and a wild monkey.
The people here seem a lot better off financially than the other places that I've visited so far, and I haven't heard one cry of ‘Uncle, Uncle 1 rupee' !
