I am now in Siliguri, West Bengal. Sad day leaving Sikkim, but it had to happen some time I guess. Tomorrow it is off to the Baghdogra airport and from there, to Delhi and then to Bangkok early Monday morning to join Hilary and the gang! Got a scare today going through Sikkim/Bengali customs. One of the inspectors decided to search all of my stuff and he decided that one of my presents was a Sikkimese historical artifact and made a big lot of trouble for me. A bit of quick talking and a fine of Rs. 1000 (about $25 that went straight into the man's pocket) got me out of immediate trouble. I kind of wondered when I bought the present. Seemed a bit underpriced. Well I'm off to bed, until tomorrow!
