The route

Stop by stop

Stop 01

Mall Road

First evening, cold hands, hot tea, and the town lit up below us.

Stop 02

Ghoom station

The toy train, the rain, and a shared umbrella that fit neither of us.

Stop 03

Tiger Hill

Up at 4 am for the sunrise. Worth every yawn.

Stop 04

Glenary's

The last breakfast, stretched out as long as we could.
