5th June

 Some diagnostic tests were done at City Xray center, Tilaknagar early morning. On return, went for half-an-hour brisk walk. Visited SBI.  In the chamber from about 1.30 to 4.45 pm
 It was interesting to know from the travel agent that there were no ATMs in Bhutan. The credit/debit cards cannot be used in general. Only in some establishments these are usable. Only Visa/Amex cards can be used. In 5 star hotels even Master cards are also accepted besides Visa/Amex cards. Indian currency is in circulation.  But notes of Rs 1000/- and Rs 500/- denomination are not accepted. We have, therefore , planned to carry currency of Rs 100/- denomination only. Notes of Rs50/- denomination and less are also in circulation besides coins. We leave for Bhutan on 15th and return on 22nd June.
Retired to sleep at about 10.45 pm.
