We leave Paro, saying goodbye to Ross who was heading back to the States.
Here, Joe, Ross & Sir Chris.

We started at Drukgyel Dzong where the local shop had the usual penises to ward off the evil spirits.

The walking was mainly along a road and very pleasant. Many chortens to circumambulate.

This was our first campsite. All our tents had rugs, thermarests, lanterns and - later in the evening - hot water bottles. Luxury!
