Day 3

Day 3 started off with a breakfast and packing as we are moving town from Paro to Thimphu. The drive was mostly along the mountains where you can look down into the valleys and rivers. We stopped by and take photo at this bridge made from iron, made by this famous builder back in the days. However, the iron bridge is no longer usable due to the corrosion and rusting. We took some photos here and continued our journey. 

We also stopped at the bridge that connects 4 districts, Thimphu, ha, Paro and one more.. 

When we finally reach Thimphu, it looked very different from Paro. There are so much more buildings, roads and cars. I saw car showrooms and their football stadium. Our  first stop here is Jungshi handmade paper factory.

Then we went to see the view of the fortress, monastery, national assembly, national council, palace and supreme court. To identify these important buildings, 

After that we checked into Pelyang Boutique hotel. Very nice modern hotel. We went out for a walk around the main city area, where the clock tower is located, bought a few books and relaxed at a Cafe. After that we say goodbye to Tandin and Mr Phub while we continue to shop ourselves. I bought local deep fried corn and beetroot crackers. We went back to hotel for dinner which is predominantly Indian food catered more towards their Indian guests. 

After dinner, I went out for a stroll around the town. There are many interesting shops, like how they have MiniSo shop, foreign restaurants like Vietnamese, Korean,... karaoke.
