:) So you were practically at the source of Ganges, lucky you! Himalayas are always magical!
Oh it was incredible, in a lovely house right on the Ganges River with plenty of butterflies, birds and bugs!
yes sorry for the delay... haven't had internet connection (except when I borrowed someone's dongle for a short time) during the last month in the Himalayas. Trying to catch up now...
I suppose it was a dull winter day and I was very bored ;) don't remember anymore!
thanks for the ID injica. You must have been going through my unknown spottings! Thanks for IDing so many...
