Our arrival in Paro, Bhutan was to set the feel for the rest of our stay. There was no rush as the plane landed and we spilled down the steps to gaze around in awe at the beauty of our surroundings. No other airport I've been to has allowed photography on the tarmac and the photograph of the King and Queen made us as welcome as the Bhutanese people.
Our start was calm as we absorbed the environment and even appreciated the airport building. Despite the queues for immigration I embraced the Buddhist calm and for once did not get agitated by queuing.
We were whisked away to our hotel to dump our bags and head straight out to explore the sights of Paro and were immediately captivated by the charm.

Our first Bhutanese Stupa was one of the oldest in the country and the sun and spirit was perfect to warm our bodies and souls.
We enjoyed the sights but also loved the small details. Prayer flags continued to be an attraction and I wanted to see them from as many angles as possible.
What an amazing place and our trip has only just begun
Feeling the calm in my soul again just looking at this
