Day 8- The beginning of the End

The title is quite cheesy isn't it? Don't worry i just mean the end of this trip..lots of fun still to come. Well, today was a slow easy-going day(much needed too, especially after tomorrow). Woke up late as usual, and we planned to just to visit the nearby Hidimba temple in the morning. So after breakfast, we headed for the temple. It's quite nearby our hotel so it hardly took anytime.
It was a good place, a bit crowded but inside it was quiet and peaceful. What saddened me was that a lot of animals like rabbits, pythons, yaks and even rams were being used my the local ppl for commercial purposes. like asking tourists to hold them for taking photos. It's so sad to see them in captivity. rather than be free in the wild(NOTE: anybody who knows any animal rights activist group or can search up 1..can leave a comment..). Anyway after the temple, me and mom went to the state mueseum while dad stayed bak to tinker with the camera.
Anyway,after all this excitement we went to a place called the 'clubhouse' where there was go-karting and chaat and stuff. To tell you the truth...it was very booring out there, and we decided get outta there fast, and head to our hotel. We had lunch in the room itself.
After lunch, i played cricket 07, dad slept and mom worked on the laptop. Around 5 we left he hotel and decide to go to a nearby buddhist monastery. It was really calm and soothing. It was really interesting to see the architecture and paintings of the buddhists. After the monastery, we went out shopping. I bought some stuff for my friends too. Then we headed to a nearby park, which was full of tall deodar trees and was at the riverbank. It felt real good to sit under the trees and feel the breeze on our face.
After the park, we headed to the Manali mall road, its main shopping road. After, hanging out in different shops, we went to a nearby restaurant to have tea and coffee. Then it was all the same, returning to the hotel, having dinner after sometime and then going to sleep. What is different is that i'm seeing ipl 2 as well..RR vs RBC...well..i cant see the whole match,so am going to sleep now...buh bye!
