Before leaving Punakha this morning I visited the Temple of the "Divine Madman", a pleasant 20 minute walk through the village and rice paddy.Childless couples come here for a blessing to make them fertile,many houses have giant phallus's decorating them as it wards of evil spirits,There are plenty of souvenir shops too with the penis as the main feature.Perhaps a place for Tony Abbot to dwell.
A bleak,cold and cloudy day to drive back through the Dochu La arriving here in Paro mid afternoon,enough time to visit the museum and the Monastery/Fortress.Don't tell anyone but I am a little over Monastery's.
The Temple of The Divine Madman.
