"I must have crossed the border. That's what I'm thinking right now as I take a break from reading to look out the window of my wood-lined room with fireplace and sitting area out onto the small garden where someone is sweeping up leaves from the grass. I have come and gone from this building some 15 times since checking in yesterday and I have yet to pass without seeing someone sweeping or painting. Clearly I am no longer in India ... But I am in India! In the Queen of Hill Stations, Darjeeling, at the Hotel Bellevue. Since coming down with a cold, I decided to pay four times as much for a more comfortable pad. In contrast to my $4/night place Sunday, this room is like a five-star hotel overlooking the central Chowrasta square where I could envision myself staying a week. I love this place. 48 hours and not a single person tried to con me into anything. I even asked for directions and received them!"
