Agüita, Rodrigo Izquierdo Design Studio
Custom made
The labyrinthine streets of Barcelona's Old City hold many secrets behind their historic doors; and despite the onslaught of tourism in the area there still remain some wonderful spaces to be discovered. Agüita is one, a small but perfectly formed wine bar and shop designed by the Rodrigo Izquierdo Design Studio accommodated under the stone vaults of the Born neighbourhood.
Formerly a storage space Agüita opened in 2017, a joint project by the owners who are both sommeliers, aimed at communicating the stories behind the wines and distilled alcohols on sale there. The space which measures 63 sq.m. is lined with bespoke shelving units made from a standard system that has been adapted, and provided with decorative lighting, overhead the stone vaults have been cleaned and restored with reinforcement added to the connecting arch between the two formerly separate areas. It was decided to maintain as many of the original elements as possible to keep the air of an authentic bodega within the Born, including the flooring, original stone walls and roof.
The main furniture element is the central table clad with white ceramic tiles, supported on metal mesh planes, configured as two aligned rectangular surfaces for serving wine with high metal stools and a custom made lighting installation above. Small tables and low stools are placed at the large arched picture window on the opposite side to the main entrance from C/ de la Volta d'en Colomines with banquette seating covered in leather. Glass jars and containers are used to decorate. All furniture was designed by Rodrigo Izquierdo inspired by practical considerations and referencing the world of wine. The result is a warm and calming space where the found colour scheme is complimented by a selection of green tones and lush potted plants that contribute to the ambience of wellbeing.
In the words of Rodrigo Izquierdo, "the main challenge with Agüita was creating a project that would get accross the most personality possible while also achieving a balance between the budget and the design."

Senior Research Analyst
In proposing to convert much of Medicaid into two block grants, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Enzi's budget plan claims the Medicaid block grants would follow the successful Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) model. As we've explained, however, Medicaid under block grants would operate far differently than CHIP and would lead to damaging cuts to states, beneficiaries, and health care providers.
CHIP is funded through a block grant structure, yet it's helped reduce the share of children without health coverage to a historic low. That's because Congress has taken extraordinary steps to ensure that states have had adequate federal funding to sustain (and expand) their CHIP programs, allowing them to overcome CHIP's otherwise flawed capped funding structure. In contrast, Medicaid block grants like those proposed by Chairman Enzi are explicitly designed to reduce federal funding well below current levels (and thus below states' funding needs) in order to generate large savings.
Here are some of the key findings from our earlier analysis:
CHIP has overcome the serious shortcomings of its financing structure because it differs substantially from typical block grants. Under Chairman Enzi's plan, the Medicaid block grants would not mirror CHIP's success but instead likely result in states significantly cutting eligibility, benefits, and payments to health care providers. Substantial numbers of low-income Medicaid beneficiaries would end up uninsured or underinsured.

Genre: Steampunk | Young Adult-Middle Grade
The year is 1908. Seventeen-year-old Rosalind Wallace's blissful stay in England with her best friend, Cecily de Vere, has come to an abrupt end, which is fine with Rosalind. She was getting tired of being high society Cecily's American "pet." Her industrialist father is unveiling his fabulous new Transatlantic Express, the world's first underwater railway. As a publicity stunt he has booked her on the maiden voyage—without asking. Rosalind is furious. But lucky for her, Cecily and her handsome older brother, Charles, volunteer to accompany her home.
Fun turns to worry when Charles disappears during boarding. Then, deep under the sea, Cecily and her housemaid, Doris, are found stabbed to death in their state room. Rosalind is now trapped on Father's train—fighting to clear herself of her friend's murder, to find the killer, and ultimately to uncover the sinister truth behind the railway's construction.
Note I used could've up there and here's why.
- Precedence like no clue that there's some political issue at work here which would put this monumental and historical train launch more significant. It can be subtle like news articles, a short interlude to paint that there's some tension? Versus giving us all the details in the end, failing to build tension, suspense, and thrill throughout the story.
- Inconsistencies such as Rosalind is an heiress launching her father's latest engine and the family/company's representative and yet she doesn't have a staff on board like a lady's maid or some sort of entourage to help her entertain guests and the passengers. Rosalind came across as very common which makes her protestations about social standing a little strange.
- The characters are very superficial which is a shame because Rosalind is supposedly a modern and daring woman, driving motorcars and a suffragette, a woman beyond her time. Cecily is a girly-girl but loves clocks and even makes them! Charles, Cecily's brother and Rosalind's love interest, is in absentia, and only Alix, their German bookworm friend, remained consistent with her character traits. Rosalind in particular is a disappointment, for a lead, she's very passive in this book. I expected her to take charge because she's the heroine and the shenanigans are all happening in HER TRAIN!
- Finally, the action-packed ending where everything is revealed but because of what I mentioned in #1, the climax-conflict-resolution didn't connect well with the premise.

Tajik women are forced to be dependent on men due to lack of land access
A study on women and farming in Tajikistan
The lack of access to land for Tajik women forces them to be
dependent on men. It also decreases the potential contribution of women
to the agrarian growth in Tajikistan and it increases the vulnerability
of Tajik women towards poverty.
Those are some of the main conclusions of the study Review. Women and Farming (Gender analysis in agriculture of Republic of Tajikistan). The review was conducted by Alla Kuvatova, Associate Professor at Russian-Tajik Slavonic University, under the EWA project. The review has been commissioned by the Youth Ecological Centre of Tajikistan and WECF has given input to the study.Tajik women own less land compared to men and their rights to control land are also limited. Renting land and obtaining the financial benefits from the harvest are examples of areas where womens rights are limited. The proportion of women that is head of a Dehkan Farm is 6.5 times lower than the proportion of men. However, women who live in rural areas contribute significantly to the economic survival of their family. That is why the focus on women in agriculture is important.
The study analyses the gender legislation and the national policies and strategies of Tajikistan within the field of agriculture. It looks at the barriers in the gender policy implementation, the participation of women at the decision-making level and the number of girls attending school. The review also focuses on gender inequality to land access and the problem of Dehkan Farms. The study provides recommendations to the Tajik government and local governments on addressing gender inequality within agriculture.

Researchers from Harvard University have developed a new growth medium which facilitates the transfer of intact stem cell sheets. Stem cell transplantation is most effective as a coherent surface, rather than a matrix of freely floating cells. Previous attempts to release intact cell sheets have relied on thermal denaturation, which affect transplant efficiency. Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) circumvent this problem by reversibly inducing slipperiness in a cell culture.

A group of international scientists led by Dr. Macchiarini, professor of regenerative medicine at Karolinska Institute, has successfully engineered diaphragm tissue in animal models using a mixture of stem cells and 3D scaffolds. When the cells are transplanted, they demonstrate the same complex mechanical properties as diaphragm muscle. This offers hope for common birth defects and possible future heart muscle repairs.

In today's highly competitive business world, having a mentor who has your best interests in mind can help you to shape your professional growth and career path. To ensure Malaysia's future growth, a newly launched initiative, Malaysia Global Talent Programme, aims to mentor young talent and nurture up to 5,500 global Malaysian leaders by 2022.
Mentors are truly one of the most valuable resources for guidance, support, feedback and insights, but how does one choose the right mentor? Here are some questions to keep in mind when making your pick.
What are you looking for?
What skills do you want to develop and where do you see yourself going in your career? Start with this basic question and be honest in evaluating your professional abilities, including those you lack.
Before choosing the right mentor, you need to know who you are, where you want to be, and what your priorities are. Once you are clear on your needs, you will be able to make informed decisions on who your mentor should be.
Do your values match?
If the person you choose to coach you has a fundamentally different perspective on life and career, you might find it hard to connect. It's even more challenging and uncomfortable to open up to someone who you don't share a certain set of values with.
As mentoring is a two-way street, both you and your mentor need to make an effort to create a connection. Your coach has to be able to relate to you on a personal level. If you're unable to bond, you're unlikely to get much of the mentorship.
Do you need more than one mentor?
As mentors are individuals you look up to and aspire to be, finding people who champion the abilities and skills you wish to develop is crucial. However, no one can guide you in all aspects of your life. Your job as a mentee is to identify the areas you want to improve on – and it's okay if you need to seek out different mentors for each area.
As your capabilities change throughout your career, mentorship does as well. The mentor at the beginning of your career does not necessarily need be the same one you started with.
Are they a good listener?
Look for a mentor who can truly help you develop and learn, rather than someone who spoon-feeds you answers and opinions. You want someone who listens, shows empathy and helps you overcome challenges without being in the driver seat.
Ultimately, you want to look for someone who gives you a reality check – even if it hurts – because to progress in your career, you need the occasional nudge. Your mentor should not be afraid to let you learn from failures, but they should equally be able to pull you back when you are about to go overboard.

Green beans and potatoes are a classic combination, reminding me once again that the simplest recipes are often the best. The magic of this side dish is the tahini dressing. A lemon-tahini-cumin dressing to be exact. Oh and lets not forgot about fresh parsley. it's a key ingredient to making the overall flavor magical.
We loved this so much we ate it for dinner… ALL BY ITSELF.
Tahini — a versatile pantry item
Odds are if you have a jar of tahini around, it's because you love hummus. I definitely do. But there are so many other ways to put tahini to use. Tahini tastes great with tangy ingredients like lemon, yogurt, even buttermilk making it a fantastic ingredient for salad dressings or dips with a Middle Eastern flair. It's a terrific partner with chickpeas, roasted carrots, eggplant and even with noodles of all sorts. Another favorite variation is a dressing made with tahini, garlic, lemon, roasted sesame oil and tamari. So tasty!
Tahini green beans and potatoes of your choice
You'll want to choose waxy potatoes that hold their shape well for salads. Red skinned, fingerling or baby new potatoes are also great choices, especially since they have a thin skin which doesn't need to be peeled, meaning less work! I choose market fresh locally grown potatoes for this recipe and boiled them whole, with the skin on, then peeled them. I tend to think they cook better without taking on water and going mushy. The green beans are simply blanched and then shocked in an ice bath so they keep their beautiful bright green color.
Middle Eastern inspiration
This inspiration for this tahini green beans and potatoes recipe comes from my friend and Pilates instructor, Anna. She is the queen of bringing Middle Eastern flavors into every day simple meals. And she has ALL of Ottolenghi's cookbooks! We enjoyed a salad similar to this one this past summer while BBQing on the Alster. I recall an amazing lemon-tahini dressing and green beans, cause I love them so much, but there was something else there too. And because of all raves and reminders from my favorite Scwhabe, I have finally made my own delicious version.
650 g potatoes
350 g green beans, trimmed
1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Tahini-Cumin Dressing:
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup lukewarm water (60 ml)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1. In a large pot, cover the unpeeled potatoes with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes, depending on size. Drain, let steam evaporate, cool slightly, then, using a paring knife, peel while still warm. Slice (or quarter) the peeled potatoes into a large serving bowl.
2. Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, for about 2-3 minutes (or to desired degree of doneness). Drain and cool under cold running water (or plunge into an ice bath). Shake out the excess water.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, cumin and salt until well combined.
4. Transfer the blanched green beans to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the parsley and the dressing, toss to combine.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
TIP: I recommend regular tahini over white tahini since I think it has more flavor. And that's what want here — flavor! :)

VAT Registration
What is VAT?
VAT or Value Added Tax is a consumer tax placed on goods or services that we buy and sell. There are various VAT rates in the UK but the most common standard rate is 20%. Some goods and services are zero rated and although VAT is applicable it is at the rate of 0%. If your business is VAT registered and the items you sell are standard rated it means you need to add an extra 20% to your price.
Why should I register?
VAT registration becomes compulsory when your businesses annual turnover reaches a certain amount (this amount tends to increase incrementally each year). Because of this, it's vital you keep a watchful eye on your turnover. You must register the moment you hit the threshold – this is in any rolling 12 months period, not at the end of the quarter or tax year.
In certain circumstances it can be financially beneficial to register for VAT even if you haven't reached the turnover threshold. We can advise whether this would be the case for you.
What if I don't register?
If you don't register for VAT when you hit the threshold (or before!) you're liable to incur a penalty. This penalty increases the longer you wait to register.
How we can help
If you're unsure as to whether you may need to register your business for VAT give us a call and we will advise you. If you do need to register for VAT, we are very experienced in dealing with HMRC and can take care of the whole VAT registration process on your behalf.

Profiles in Coaching: Bob Hartley
Bob Hartley is the current head coach of the Zurich Lions (Swiss-A League), a position he's held since being hired in March of 2011.
NHL Coaching Experience
1998 – 2003: Head Coach, Colorado Avalanche
2003 – 2008: Head Coach, Atlanta Thrashers
Hartley had a distinguished record as a head coach in the QMJHL and AHL before landing in Colorado, replacing Marc Crawford (who had previously turned down a short-term extension to stay with the team). Like his predecessor the 38-year old had instant success with the Avalanche; they went to the third round three times in his first four seasons at the helm, and won the Stanley Cup in the other season.
Less than two years after winning it all, Hartley was canned after a slow start for the Avs. He left the team with a 193-108-48-10 record as head coach.
About a month after being fired, Hartley landed in Atlanta as the new head coach of the Thrashers. He helped the team to a much better record in the second half of 2002-03, but the next year ran into some adversity early, as Dany Heatley was injured and teammate Dan Snyder killed in a September 2003 car crash. While 2003-04 was a disappointment, the next two seasons would see the Thrashers post their best-ever performances under Hartley, including the club's first ever playoff run. Hartley was fired after an 0-6 start in 2007-08 (during which time the Thrashers' save percentage was an ugly 0.869) but still posted a decent career record as Atlanta's head coach (137-118-13-24).
Other Experience:
Prior to coaching in the NHL, Hartley was a head coach in both the QMJHL and the AHL, winning championships at both levels.
Hartley spent two seasons as the head coach of the Laval Titan, a team that included future NHL'ers like Martin Lapointe, Philippe Boucher, Francis Bouillon and Manny Fernandez. His 1992-93 team went on to win the QMJHL championship; the next year, he was Jacques Martin's assistant with Cornwall of the AHL. Martin was subsequently promoted to an assistant coaching role with the parent Nordiques, and Hartley took the helm full-time in 1994-95.
In four years running the Cornwall Aces/Hershey Bears, Hartley's modestly talented teams not only made the post-season, but also advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs. They did this despite finishing 15th out of first 16 and then 18 teams in three of Hartley's four years running things. The year they won the Calder Cup as AHL champions, Hartley found offense to go along with the defense; his team finished tied for 5th in the 18-team AHL that year in total scoring. Hartley made up for the team's offensive deficiencies by preaching a defense-first style, a style that proved successful but also earned criticism. One article in the York Daily Record started this way:
The criticism comes from other American Hockey League coaches, players, officials and media members. It comes from irate fans. Heck, even the Hersheypark Arena employees grumble about it. "Hershey Bears games take too damn long to play." "The Bears purposely delay games." "Hershey makes a mockery of the AHL with its slow, deliberate style."
That was written in March of 1997, a few short months before Hartley's Bears won the Calder Cup. Two seasons later, he'd be in the NHL as coach of the Avalanche.
Most Recently:
After a few years out of coaching (he was a television analyst for RDS), Hartley returned with the Zurich Lions of Switzerland's top league. The team's regular season results weren't overly inspiring (they finished seventh of 12 teams with a modest plus-7 goal differential) but the playoffs have been. First, the Lions swept favoured HC Davos in four straight games, and going into Saturday's game have a 3-1 series lead on regular season champions EV Zug (Zug also beat the New York Rangers 8-4 in a pre-season exhibition game). One more win will send Zurich to the finals.
Point Form:
– Hartley, as has been pointed out, is a defense-first coach. "Trap" is a dirty word in many quarters, so suffice to say he's not a guy who will embrace an all-offense philosophy at the expense of defensive assignments.
– Hartley is a Franco-Ontarian, and fluently bilingual. One would imagine the Montreal Canadiens at least think him over as a possible alternative to Randy Cunneyworth this summer.
– He's also typically regarded as a disciplinarian. As one example, former Devils' coach John MacLean earned some scrutiny after he benched Ilya Kovalchuk for tardiness, but Hartley had done the same thing in Atlanta – locking Kovalchuk out of the locker room after he was late for the Thrashers' morning skate.
– While researching this post, I came across this April 28, 1996 piece on the Cornwall Aces playoff victory over a superior Albany team; it contains some interesting quotes from Hartley, particularly on the mentality of playing as the underdog.
What Do You Think Of Him?
Personally, I've always liked Hartley as an NHL coach. He may or may not be a perfect fit for the Oilers, should Tom Renney get the boot, but he's certainly capable of handling the job. He's a good defensive coach with experience working with young players (though in Atlanta supposedly his disciplinary style ended up hurting him in the end), and a guy who has over his career coached more than one team to some pretty massive playoff upsets. It's a little surprising that he's been absent from the majors for as long as he has.

Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph a Maternity Client at Old Silver Beach in Falmouth, MA. This was the first time I shot a client at the beach and it was perfect! Tiffany is due November 5th, 2017, but she was telling me that the Doctors are thinking her baby girl will be arriving much earlier than that. So it was great that we were able to get her photo shoot done in time, we almost had to reschedule. Originally, it was supposed to rain, but as usual, New England weather surprised us with an amazing evening and a beautiful sunset.
What I loved most from our shoot was Tiffany's beautiful red gown (rented from Mama Bump Rentals), it really makes the photographs pop and creates a sophisticated and elegant feel.
Next week, I will share with you how to prep for your maternity photo shoot. In the mean time, check out Tiffany's photographs by Lp photography!

A Belmont woman and her husband have filed a medical negligence lawsuit against Concord Hospital, claiming they failed to properly evaluate and supervise her, resulting in her falling and sustaining a severe, traumatic head injury.
Marilyn Winans and her husband, William, of 66 Shaker Road claim in a suit filed in Belknap County Superior Court in May that Mrs. Winans' fall on Nov. 22, 2005, could have been prevented.
Their lawyer, Christopher Seufert of Franklin, states that Mrs. Winans was transferred from Lakes Region General Hospital to Concord Hospital for a cardiac evaluation.
�Upon the transfer, Concord Hospital had knowledge of the plaintiff's condition, that she was elderly, and that she was prone to fall. The couple alleges that Concord Hospital did not appropriately monitor and care for Mrs. Winans, and her risk of falls, and left her unguarded in a room, without supervision, and the plaintiff thereafter in an attempt to go to the bathroom, fell in her room, causing a severe head injury,� he wrote in court pleadings.
In its response to the suit, Concord Hospital denies all liability for the accident, denies any negligence, and denies its actions contributed to the plaintiff's damages.
�All care provided by Concord Hospital nurses and staff was reasonable, appropriate and consistent with the standard of care,� wrote Attorney Sarah Murdough of Concord who is representing Concord Hospital.
The plaintiffs have requested that a jury hear the case and the trial is expected to last two to three days.
Seufert claims Mrs. Winans was later transferred from Concord Hospital to the St. Francis Home in Laconia for rehabilitation.
�She never fully recovered from the injuries and her health deteriorated quickly after the fall to the point that her death is imminent at this point in time,� Seufert wrote in a pleading filed Sept. 27.
Seufert claims the nursing staff failed to properly assess Mrs. Winans' risk to fall and that, while they documented the use of protective measures such as a call bell, bed rails, and bed alarm, no increased risk assessment was noted.
Hours before she fell, Seufert alleges, hospital records show Mrs. Winans was given sleep medication. The woman was found on the floor of her room after her roommate called the nursing staff about 3.25 a.m.
�Late entries, 13 hours after, were backfilled into the patient's records by the nursing staff that stated the 'patient was alert and oriented times three,'� the writ charges.
A CT scan revealed Mrs. Winans had sustained a �subarachnoid hemorrhage� and a possible contusion. When a neurologist evaluated her two days later, she was diagnosed with �encephalopathy with significant traumatic brain injury from the fall resulting in frontal confusion, subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage,� Seufert alleges in the writ.

Newborn Samuel Issac Martin
I was proud to be asked to photograph newborn Samuel Issac Martin.
At only four weeks his wrinkly skin and expressions were priceless.
It's so easy to forget how little we all once were. Babies are so vulnerable, yet I'm still amazed at how quickly they grow and develop. From the first day they enter this world they're continually changing and gaining their strength. Truly amazing.

Excellent services-admire the qualities of manager
The service at the Oberoi Cecil is exceptional, the staff literally couldn't do enough for us. Our room was beautiful, very clean and with fabulous views from the balcony. The breakfasts were superb and again with excellent service. We used the laundry service which was also excellent. A very enjoyable stay in Shimla and if we return we'll definitely return to the Oberoi. The lounge/bar area was super, with a great feel, looking up to the floors above and the skylight. The dining room was great, with superb food and the most genuinely attentive staff I have ever come across.
The beautiful palace-great services
We stayed at this hotel while on a tour of northern states like Himachal, J&K, and Punjab. This is a most bautiful palace, it is superb you want great hospitality & amazing food, then this is your hotel to be. This was my second visit and their hospitality inspired me to write about them. I am simply awed by Oberoi's staff, what a great team you have! They cooperated in every possible way. Would like to mention a little about the chef, Mr. Raj kumar Bhatia, his gestures made it super memorable. His warmth and love showered on us would again ensure that when in Shimla, we have to stay in Cecil only. Not only a great chef but also a great human being. Thank you Oberoi team and Mr. Bhatia for their dedicated service.
I booked Cecil Online. Hotel was excellent when seen on Oberoi website. I had lot of expectation. I called hotel guys about late checking, they assured that they keep room for me. View from Hotel was good. Got WiFi at rooms. @Oberoi Cecil Every one where very friendly Helped me a lot Value for the money here had good reception, rooms, restaurants, WiFi @rooms. Fully satisfied I fully recommend this place.

Cozy, comfortable and luxury hotel
Had a short but awesome trip to Shimla last month. Just two nights at Oberoi Cecil the oldest hotel of Shimla. The hotel has a luxurious colonial charm and makes you feel very cosy and relaxed. We were impressed by the courteousness shown by the staff, right from the manager Mr. Amit Kaul, the reception staff, the bartender or the people serving in the dining hall, each one would go an extra mile to make the guests happy As we checked in, no time was wasted at the reception to complete the documents like in other hotels, instead given a welcome drink and then straightaway taken to the room As we noticed that the heating in the room was not up to the mark they tried to rectify the problem and when that could not be done we were immediately given another room of higher category The rooms are large and beautifully furnished and we enjoyed the lovely view of valley and the sunrise in the morning The dining area is beautiful with lot of sunshine in the morning and one can enjoy elaborate breakfast served by courteous and friendly staff. Swimming pool is big and water just warm enough so one could really enjoy the swim The Mall is around 20mts uphill walk from the hotel. Hotel provides transport for going up to the lift to go to The Mall at Rs 300/-. But if you walk a little towards Vidhan Sabha you can get local taxi for Rs 150/200.

If you are a little flexible with your wallet and don't mind spending for something really worth. I would advice cecil Oberoi is the best place . . I have been to Shimla twice before but this stay changed my whole experience about Shimla . Perfect location very friendly staff and quality service. This is what you call pampering yourself. Spa and swimming pool was very much of standard .
I was having holidays from my college, so my friends made a plan to visit Shimla (7 December) This is by far one of the best Hotel in Shimla. They have both type of accommodation available luxury as well as budget The kind of food and courtesy of their staff towards the customer is just awesome I advise a new traveller from anywhere in the world to stay in best Cheap Luxury Hotel in Shimla which is Hotel The Oberoi Cecil My advice to traveller is that best day to arrive at hotel is a Sunday early in the month. The vacation travellers have left or are leaving and the business travelers haven't yet arrived, so you'll get a better selection of rooms. Incidentally, if you're looking to visit a particular location but don't know when you should go, phone up the hotel and ask them what their slow season is, or when they would recommend you visit Next time when I will visit I will be visiting on Sunday.
Pleasant stay with best services
The overall experience was fantastic and it was a pleasant stay at this hotel. I had been here for family vacation in January, 2015 and resided at this hotel. The hotel had provided pickup and drop facility hence, it was convenient to travel. The staff members in the hotel are friendly in cooperative in behaviour. The room allotted to us was spacious and cleanly maintained with all the needful amenities, and there was valley view available from window. We did not eat food at the hotel but had tasted breakfast, which was good and tasty, available at affordable price. The hotel had offered us sightseeing trip but we did not take use of it, and swimming pool, gym is also available. The destination Shimla is fantastic and it was a great trip with my family.
