One week to go

Getting closer and closer! Within a week, we will head to India. Weather in Delhi seems to be horrible: heavy rain, humid (92%) and hot (35 degrees Celsius). The same for Manali: rain, humid and a bit cooler, but still 25 degrees...  We expect that the first days of our adventure will be the highly adventurous - the monsoon will be our first obstacle, I am afraid.

Do not want to think about road blocks because of landslides and mud rivers.... Yesterday we viewed our pics from 2004. Monsoon then forced us to take a detour as well. Well, we should be mentally prepared for the worst: waiting for days to leave Manali and cross Rohtang pass.

This picture was taken after our departure from Manali - because of landslides we had to walk in the pouring rain :(
