It’s Tuesday morning, the 12th of July and I’m in my hotel room in Shimla in the Himalayas.  The monkeys are going nuts this morning and are sat on my window cill putting their hands through the bars and looking very cute hoping I’ll give them food. This is a big day for me because I  leave to go to the Spiti Valley which means I have to climb to nearly 15000 ft. I’m split down the middle in terms of nerves and excitement.  To get through the valley will take me about 15 days or longer and I probably won’t have WiFi during that time. So wish me luck because I’m off.
