From My Travel Diary : Shillong, Cherrapunji and Guwahati

(File Photos - March 2008) It may seem odd to begin your story with the picture of a restroom. But strange though it may seem, it was the memory of this quaint little room that stuck to my head after that happy journey to the North East in March 2008. Posted below are images from my stay at Shillong, the little expedition we made to Mawsmai Caves in Cherrapunji and finally my graceful hosts in Guwahati.
I loved the white lace curtains and the B & W floor tiles - Shillong
