We woke Sunday morning to find the view to the Doon the clearest I've ever seen it - even could see details of the Siwalik mountains. The town of Dehra Dun used to fill up one small portion of the valley, but now there are houses spread out across most it - I wonder is there is any land left growing that special Dehra Dun basmati rice! Unfortunately my little cell phone camera can't pick up the amazing detail ..but here is best attempt.
The Quad area was so quiet all day - we learned late in the week that this weekend is an 'outdoor weekend' so many of the students were gone - some to Rajaji National Park, a few on a mountain bike outing, some on a hike to Pepper Pot, others?
Very welcome hot tea for breakfast!

Later in the morning, for some exercise, we walked out Tehri Road as far as Oakville path, up that path to the chakkar, stopped for coffee & goodies at the Landaur Bake House (next to Prakash's store), and along past Rokeby and down to the Edgehill path. The fog was coming up over the top of the hill, so no views of snows and no point walking on the back side of the hill!
