Bhutan day 9

So most everyone thinks the festival is over but today, Monday, is the unrolling of 'the scroll'. Headed back up to the Dzong and arrived just in time to see the scroll rise -truly an amazing sight


Following this we were awed to watch a complete ceremony,


With the best of the best dancers


Meanwile it is pouring rain and these guys are soaked


Great drum section


With every instrument blasting away including conch shells ( I'm limited on how many photos I post). Even exiting the Dzong we have music


Then it's 9:30am and it's time for 160km drive back to Wangi -a two pass day. At Pele La


we has a yak encounter


As well as an amazing show of Spanish moss


I couldn't photograph the dying horse on the roadside, eyeless after being attacked wild dogs (per Mr Raam) a sad sad sight
