Leh ahoy

Blogging thru Arya's communicator at 2 am. The tata sumo is supposed to pick us anytime now and we expect to reach Leh at 1900 today i.e. Sunday.

Where are we? Manali. We reached according to schedule. Reaching leh earler than expected. No pain points except at the airport where we had long queues and zillions of manuak checks.

Signing off, shall try and post from Leh...if I feel like it. :)
