How to leave such a beautiful place? Only by vowing to return SOON. Jimmy got up early to catch a view of Kangchendzonga, the third highest peak in the Himalayas. He showed us the snow covered peaks of the sleeping Buddha off in the distance and we thought he had nailed it. After bill paying and breakfast and hugs with the Director we ready. Except for the box lunches they prepared for us tied with green ribbon. and one more thing. the mountain is in the opposite direction from where we were looking. Our taxi driver took us to the right spot and we really saw it in all it's glory.
The ride to the airport through miles of tea gardens was fairly smooth until we hit the inevitable mega traffic jam. This one even had a police officer involved. Our driver was the most nonagressive we had come across in all of our travels, adding to the sense of urgency to get to the airport in time. And we were just in time, going through all the ticketing and security steps and immediately on line for boarding.
It was a plane trip never to be forgotten; the pilot banked slightly, and there it was below in all it's glory: Kangchendzonga. I was sorry Gerard missed it.
