  2. Hello Mariette, Those views are just stunning. From my window I can see some of Taiwan's mountains, but though beautiful, they are strictly amateur compared to the ones in your photos!

    1. Dearest Marianne,
      Chail was the summer capital of one of the former Maharajas and you know that they could create anything they wished for. Just with hard labor by the little people...

    1. Lieve Nieneke,
      Ja mooi zo'n uitzicht, je voelt je net of je op het dak van de wereld staat...
      Vandaag, zondag gaat het heel goed met me hoor; goed geslapen en ben aan het bijkomen van alle emoties de afgelopen drie weken. Ook doet het goed om zoveel lieve vrienden te hebben; dichtbij en ver weg en ook virtueel.
      Heel veel liefs terug,
      Mariette

  7. Wow what a view! I wonder how it's like to play cricket on such high ground. I imagine air is thin.
    In the first picture, I can see snow on Himalayan mountains very clearly - beautiful!

    1. Dearest Tamago,
      Oh for sure you ought to be in good condition but you get used to it. When we started living and working in the mountains of central Java, it did not take us long. Healthy though.
      Yes, the second photo also shows a snow capped mountain to the right!

    1. Dearest Carolyn,
      This trip has been a life-changing one for Pieter and he has talked so much about it so I had to work it into these series for him. With love, as it meant so much to him.
      You are such a dear; the support by blogger friends is something I would not want to miss!
      Hugs and blessings to you,
      Mariette

  13. I would imagine the players would be short of breath at that altitude! great shots of an exotic place.
    Yes I. was back in the US by '81. Janey

    1. Dearest Janey,
      It depends if you live at that altitude, you get quite used to it. We lived and worked for years in the mountains at an altitude of 7,000 ft. Exotic it sure was.
      Funny that we both were in The Netherlands at the same time... and we followed soon to Georgia.
      Hugs,

  14. My dear friend Mariette,
    What a beautiful view of the Himalaya! I visited the Chail website and it is very interesting and the Maharaja’s Majestic Palace is amazing. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures.
    Send you a big hug my dear
    Love,

    1. Dearest Laura,
      It is like a dream; another world but for sure at a cost for those that had to excavate the mountains in order to create this highest cricket play ground for the Maharaja.
      Sending you hugs and blessings and gratitude; you are like a real sister to me!
