An easy few hours to begin with but as we hit the Himalayas the roads became a lot more windy and more tricky to drive. Most people made it into the hotel with time to spare. Giancarlo and Agneta Puddu in the Volvo has a slight problem at the beginning of the day with their exhaust but this was quickly cleared up by our wonderful Indian mechanic and his team – other than that no major problems along the route. The hotel was close to a town called McLoed Ganj -the home to the Dalai Lama and many Tibetan monks. The pot holes and bad quality road surface have started to affect a few of the cars, with shock abosorbing leaking and a lose screw in a radiator caused the far to smash through it. The view from the hotel was amazing across a huge valley and the mountains behind.
