Day-3: Marhi and Solang Valley

May 6, 2009
my first encounter with snow. we did not get along.


Marhi in itself should have been quite nice, but too many people per square inch for the snow to remain white for long. the long long line of cars snaking for kilometers down the way did not add to the view. to make matters worse, there were too many newly-weds being noxiously romantic all over the place. that is enough to turn anyone's stomach.




way too many people and too many cars.






by the time we got to the place, we were ravenous. we shared the most expensive and definitely the most delicious bowl of maggi there. the scalding hot coffee seemed to make no difference at all. the cold still found all sorts of openings to creep through.




being stuck in a traffic jam was never this enjoyable. only downside was the cars emptying for the occupants to make generous contributions of uric acid to the local soil. there was a horse grazing on this spot. a nice looking white and grey beast.




Solang Valley.
the ski slope was devoid of snow, this being summer, but it was still terribly cold. we found this under-construction log cabin that still smelled nice woody smells and had a roof-edging in wooden wind chimes that rang at every gust.
