After a bit of confusion about the time I had to leave the hotel (reception was not great about delivering messages and forgot to tell me I was leaving at 8 am and not noon, but fortunately they remembered around 7 am), I managed to run out and get the last of my shopping done just in time to check out. It was a five hour drive from Dharmsala to Amritsar. I still cannot pronounce the name of the city I am in: Um-RIT-sar.
Today: To the Pakistan border (not as crazy as it sounds) for the daily flag ceremony. Tomorrow: The Golden Temple and other important cites in Amritsar, then a train back to Delhi. Overnight in Delhi, then on Thursday I see the Red Fort in Delhi before my evening plane. I'm listing all this because I might not get a chance to post again before I leave. Obviously in Dharamsala my schedule was a bit more open and the internet cafes cheaper. I am really looking forward to the Golden Temple, even though seeing the Dalai Lama was obviously the highlight of the trip.
