Our room here at Hotel Fairway is like a
dark cave with no window so was easy to sleep in till 8.00am. The hotel is well maintained with
modern fixtures and best of all a lovely bathroom with hot water. I even had a proper shower and had to
add cold - thought I might as well report on with the hot water obsession I
seem to be having.
It is another foggy cold day, apparently
this is the norm for the Punjab in winter.
We met Deepak at 10am and went to the Sikh Golden
Temple. It was very
impressive. It was so cold there
was steam coming off the water and we were in bare feet. We waited in a queue for an hour to
enter the inside of the temple where priests were chanting from their holy
book. You could hear the chanting
outside, it was soothing whilst standing in the queue.

The plan was to witness the India/Pakistan
border ceremony but that's another story.
