polo @ 3500 metres

with a packed house full of intrepid travellers
the locals took on the military here at the
polo ground in leh.

The sun had made a fantastic unexpected appearance
as the players came to the main show area and
saluted the official guests,( some muppets from delhi!)

With a quick whistle we were off and the cork round sphere
was belted into the red teams half. The level of dexterity of
these horsemen on these small mounts was astonishing
and they managed to put on a great show as the gods in the
nearby mountains watched on giving there blessing with
hot sunlight.

I was unaware as to who was who but it didnt seem to matter
as we all cheered and hid as the ball thing fell into a puddle not five feet from us.
Slicing was commo so we took the oppotunbity to hide behind our indians host
who sat fearlesds laughing at the overpriced travellers all cowering away from the
idea of two gapping holes in the front of their face.

With the two halfs up and the reds the winner 3-1 we walked off with the
throng into the main bazaar of Leh.

well that was a first for me friends.
You must all get booked and see it for yourself next year.

leaving for the mad passes in a few days
shopping tomorrow

It continues to amaze me how many people, not only in our country but worldwide, still believe in the media after all the lies they have shelled out, all the "mistakes" they have made, all the backstabbing they have done, and all the contradictions they've blasted us with.
