Bhutan continued.......

Before leaving Bhutan we had a few other places to visit!
Paro Dzong  was  visited........as beautiful as the others we had previously seen.....
Entry is through a beautiful painted hall...
.........with its Mandala




We visited the National Museum.......

 which had a great view of the Paro valley with its rice fields........
...and overlooked the Dzong......

After placing prayer flags on a bridge........

we visited a family farm where 17 generations of the same family have continuously lived........
.... several generations still there at the moment......
.....we had seen some of this basketwork at the museum... no photos allowed there!
The produce of the farm was rice...... easy to attend to out their backdoor!

....finally we had an early morning flight out  .... passing by the illuminated Dzong..... en route to the airport.......


and with fairly close contact once again with the mountains.......easy to believe that it is a land of around 75% mountains!

......and from our plane we also had great views of Mount Everest...... not quite as close!
