• Trongsa - Part 2

    November 5, 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    The Watch Tower museum was v nicely laid out and took a good hour to go around.

    After which we were driven down the hill and spent another hour or so watching the monks being called to study, and taking photos of more intricate wood work that adorned the buildings within the formidable Dzong/ Fortress.

    The information we are given each day re Buddhism and it’s principles are fascinating and make for a very sensible way of life.
    However when being educated about the wheel of life I had to take a step back when being told that one realm was called “ the hungry ghost”- I think I may have previously spent some time here as it explains why I always carry spare food with me wherever I go!!!

    Tmrw it’s an early start to drive to Bumthang where we are hoping to catch the last day of a festival.
