... a fantastic nights sleep in a room with a mountain view, as Neil requested, we had a very late breakfast sat on the terrace eating our carb overload it was off with a big walk down. We now resemble a combined age of 200 with our struggle down boulder strewn paths. Lunch was a bowl of soup alongside the river at New (no) Bridge, washed away by the monsoon. <br><br>Neil had chapatti with yak cheese which he promptly scrapped off due to the potent smell!

... at 1540m, dodging numerous packs of donkeys carrying goods up and down while seeing the farming on the terracing, the chillies being dried, the corn separated from its husk and learning the difference between rice and millet (millet makes the best wine).

There's a hot water ...

The snow in places came up to our knees so it was slow progress but you could really notice how much easier it was getting to breathe already. After 10 hours of such hard work we finally arrived in Mukinath. We stayed in the Bob Marley tea house which was brilliant and enjoyed some celebratory beers with Claudi and had some well deserved food after trekking for 10 hours on ...

... going to live in Australia. The<br>girl was from Cardiff and apparently she got fed up of Welsh men<br>chatting her up and buying her jugs of cocktails.......!?!?<br><br>Well,<br>we got to the train station in Agra about 5 hours early, because I<br>think the taxi driver wanted to head back to Delhi, but in the 30<br>minutes before he dropped us off he kept asking if we had had a good<br>time and if he had driven well.

... kind of languages on a shelf for people to borrow (and we can leave our books here for the future clients) and there are showers! We all decided to pay to each get our shower...the best feeling on earth after I don't know how many days using baby wipes as soap and water. <br>Wonderful Martha got me a Diet Coke to cheer me up after this tough day.

In times past, this southern part of Nepal was covered with malarial swamps and jungle and, together with the Himalaya to the north, aided the country in its isolation from international affairs.
