Hello everyone, we are safe. We are now in the hill town of Nainital. It’s at 1930m so the airs a bit thinner. Crisp packets are always fun to see up here, they are packed near sea level at 1 bar so when they get up here they look pretty inflated. Yesterday we look at cable car up 200m and finished the other 400m off on foot. We ended up on Naina Peak at 2633m. Our crisp packet was ready to explode!
The views were fantastic, you could see hundreds of miles north the China border and a row of snow capped peaks forming the Big Boy Himalaya. Some of the peaks were 7500m high.

I’m reading a book called Emotional Intelligence at the moment. It seems there is a place in your brain that recognises things you don’t like before you consciously recognise them. It’s to speed up the flight or fight response. Today we went to visit some caves and near the end was a very poor plastic tiger. I caught it out of the corner of my eye and the adrenaline surged. It seems my little incident a few days ago has caused a primeval neuro-pathway link. See a tiger out of the corner of your eye and get ready to run before you can even figure out what it is. Cleaver stuff really.
