This morning we rose early, boarded the first class car of the
Shatabdi Express, and rolled to Dehra Dun. Reaching Dehra Dun mid-day, we jumped into a Toyota Innova and drove up to the hill station of Mussoorie, where we are resting now at the
Ivy Bank guest house, and making preparations for our overland journey to Uttarkashi tomorrow. Temperatures are much cooler up here, Ted and Chris spotted the Himalayas on a stroll this evening, and a local told them it was "the Holy range."
