Picture above is of some daft so and so wearing his shorts!<\/p>\n<p>Went to what was once Lord Kitchener\u2019s residence. The journey there we were surrounded by deep valleys. Visibility was poor but when the clouds parted it was magical. Some more pictures below including the breaks. Later I went into a bar in Shimla to watch some cricket and had a mango beer which was different and enjoyable. On the way back I joined in a protest about electricity with a group of workers waving communist flags!!!<\/p>\n<p><a
