After another grueling day of driving we arrived in the hillside town of Shimla. Nestled high into the steep clifface, Shimla was once the former summer residence of the British government in India, this was clearly evident in the architecture of the town. It was also the first place in which we spotted a church, quite a novelty after viewing many Hindu, Muslim and Sikh holy places.
Arriving late evening in Shimla we only had time to check into our hotel and sightseeing was postponed until the following day. Dining in the hotels restaurant was an interesting choice as
half of the food was 'unavailable' and the first waiter couldn't speak a word of English. Spending the morning sightseeing meant the rest of the day would involve the 12 hour drive back to Delhi, something we were well used to at this point, argghhhhh!!
