Now I am in a small town called Nainatal. We took the bus from Bareilly to a place called Haldawani. The road was just straight and the bus went as fast (or slow!) as the train. There were people jumping on and off all the time selling food and tea (its tetley they drink mostly up here). There were also passengers jumping on and off while the bus was still moving!

We then took a bus from there to Nainatal and it was just straight up this massive mountain the whole time. The road was really narrow and windey, it was worse than the wee roads in Scotland.

The total journey took about 6 hours and cost a fiver for two.

On the way from Barelli to Haldawani there military guys got on the bus with guns on their backs, that was well scary, but nothing happened.

Once we arrived in Nainatal we booked a room for three nights (about 13 pounds for the both of us) and the next again day went on a long trek and seen the Himalayas.

We had planned to go trekking again today and to go on a half day tour of the lakes but it has rained all through the night and all day today & it's freezin! Quite a difference from yesterday, it was really warm during the day, that warm i got sunburn on my nose.

Tommorrow we are leaving again to start to go down to Agra where the Taj Mahal is and hopefully where the sun is too.

Yesterday I wanted to live here forever becuase it so beautful but today i can't wait to leave becuase it is so cold.

We are going to book a flight now to Sri lanka from the south of India and i have just found a ticket for about 30 bucks!

Hoep you are all working hard, i miss you all, see youz soon, Rach!
