The flight is delayed so instead of 8.00 we have to be at the airport at 12.00. Time for a little extra outing.
A little look at the archery. They should over a big distance, about 125 meters if I'm not mistaken. The target is a wooden plank with a circle of no more than 20 cm. It's the national sport, so of course there are teams, competitions, prizes....
No pictures from the palace here, but had to show this one
The national dress is obligatary if you go into government buildings, banks and other offical buildings. In temples etc. are even stricter dresscodes.
Again this starts young
Taxidrivers dress up, you never know where you have to go
Just some pictures around Paro town
Women working in the rice fields
We had a fantastic time - it was the complete opposite of Dhaka in so many ways.
For more info have a look at http://www.lonelyplanet.com/bhutan or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutan
