We rented bikes and realized that riding to the monastery was too ambitious. We rode around Thimphu instead. Had to dodge around three cows on the main street through town. We rode through cow shit and Molly rubbed some on her nose on accident.
The postal museum had lots of dick sculptures.
We had lunch at Cousin Restaurant Cum Bar.
Drank Druk Lager.
Went to tallest Meditating Buddha sculpture in the world.
The inside isn’t open yet - there will be 25,000 smaller Buddhas inside. We went to the Takin preserve - saw some little guys. Then we went to the Tango Monastery. Molly got carsick and was wobbly but made the summit like a champ. It was a beautiful old monastery getting ready to begin renovation.
We saw monkeys, a large grey squirrel, mountain goats, and a pheasant. Photos not allowed in temple, but it was lovely.
Clockwise around all obstacles. Saw a water-powered prayer wheel on a mountain stream on the way back from the monastery, which was great.
There are little fitness parks located around the city. We bought a blanket at the craft fair. We ate at the Bhutan Orchid for dinner.
Walked around a bit on the way back to the hotel, and passed out at 9 p.m. Dogs barked from 4 a.m. to dawn.
