hello,
i am very happy because we could get away from here for a few days.
and we went to a far off place - Shillong - that is at the far east end of India.
we had only heard of the place, we had studied in school that the place Chirrapunji
in Meghalaya gets the highest rainfall in the world. Shillong is the capital of
the state Meghalaya.
it is about 4000mts above sea level. and the climate there is so pleasant, we felt we could stay forever.
these are a few of the places we saw. so sad we couldn't stay for long.

The Cathedral in the centre of the city.

Ward's lake - large lake with walk way all around the place.
different types of trees and very serene atmosphere. [URL=http://s462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341/greenfairy55/shillong/?action=view¤t=DSC01035.jpg][/URL]

Lady Hyderi Park - all these in the city itself. the city has roads that are
curving and climbing. ups and downs all over.

It looks lovely, all of it. I'm so glad you had a good time on your holidays. It's certainly very lush and green.

I really like the shots of the lake and Lady Hyderi Park. It would be lovely to sit by the water and simply relax for a while.

What a beautiful place. You folks must have had a marvelous time there.
I am looking foreward to more pics. I can imagine at that altitude it must have been very difficult to leave.
