Trip to Shimla

On Sunday 28th June we went to Shimla, former Indian "summer capital" (the British were governing the country from here during the hot season only). Shimla has a reputation for being a cool place, both the temperatures are really cool (below 30°C, and not so humid, which is significantly milder climate compared to Chandigarh and neighbouring cities), and that's why the city is just "cool".
The official website is not very appealing, so you may want to check another one for more information on this region (or just go to travel wiki). Big attraction is a traditional train that is going from/to here, but it is always impossible to get in without a reservation - so we went by bus both ways (2x 4hours). Despite bumpy and maybe a little bit dangerous journey, we had nice relaxing time in Shimla! Now, let's see some pictures.

This is where the traditional train is going.

In Shimla. British influence is fairly obvious.

Yeah, right... this really is not typically Indian building.

The Ridge. Notice the catholic church.

Our bus had a big wheel.
