1983 India: Simla (11/8/1983)

Tuesday November 8, 1983
I think this is when Jay, Hansa and Jaymal, and I then parted, friends for  life.
Depart New Delhi?
Arrive Chandigarh 6:15.
Took a bus to Simla, 116 km/72 miles away up in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Kalka-Simla Railway schedule was such that I was unable to take a train.
Salvia leucantha and Tropaeolum/Nasturtium
Wow, a diesel locomotive!
