Feeling pretty battered from the previous day's ride thought to taking a break today. Woke up lazily and took my time getting out of the cozy Rugs. See that the weather outside is not great and its misty above. Good that i made it to BumLa the previous day, else would have been tougher today. Spent time with TV, and the Laptop till noon.
Took off in the after noon to check out the War memorial near the 190 Mountain Brigade. There i met a couple of soldiers whom i was talking to the first day when i went for permits. They were in charge of the up keeping of the Memorial. They gave me a tour of the memorial which had a shrine for Major Joginder Singh and also a small museum of the soldier gear from the Indo-China war.
Then it got pretty cold and mist came down to Tawang town! Searched in vain in the Various Military WET Canteens for the Army winter shoes. It was supposed to be just 750 Rs but soldiers were jay walking on the ice without bather, where as my feet with two layers of sox was freezing in my 3k woodland shoes! There was no stock anywhere so retaired in my room. Big ride tomm as i have no mood to stay in the sleepy town Bomdila. Thinking i have to make it to Tezpur.
