Today sees Fred and Rita heading further north, into the mountains, towards Pahalgam. There is a strike by many of the bus drivers but they eventually manage to get seats at the front of a local government bus. The journey is going quite smoothly until they make a stop along the way, only to see their bus being taken over by pilgrims.
"Rita and I didn’t walk too far and were having a thirst-quenching drink of lemon when we saw our bus being invaded by hordes of weirdly attired pilgrims (sadus). We put down our half-finished drinks and dived into the fray trying to save our seats which we succeeded in doing after much pushing and shoving."
