Et je ferai ptet une balade a cheval dans l'apres midi sinon..<br>Voila, pour feter ca je suis alle louer une barque avec un rameur pour deux heures autour du lac, avec un arret au temple hindou au milieu de l'eau. Relaxant.<br>Puis suis rentre me decontracter dans la chambre, puis suis ...

... good because the chute is much harder to get back together and I get a strip tore off me a second time. I apoligise but Im laughing too because I'm happy to be on solid ground. He gives me an angry look and I laugh harder and I try to apologise again but he's not having any of it and mutters somthing in Nepalese. I unhook in time to get afew shots of Mo coming in. And watch her do a planned butt landing. When Mo and I got back together with the others I found that people ...

... of 100bpm.<br><br>The next part of the extreme day was on my behalf as the altitude got to me and I spent a most of the night with a bad stomach! The extreme part was that the loo was a squatter and it was outside, I squatted for most of the night in minus 7! I now have thighs of steel and something I don&#8217;t want to have to go through again. But on a positive was Neil&#8217;s stomach was now fine, however he did manage to roll his ankle on the final walk to MBC

... br><br>As I am not completely recovered from the strenuous walk around the Annapurnas nor I feel like visiting anything as it requires, believe or not, quite a lot of effort, I sign up for a two days rafting down the Seti river. It is quite a peaceful activity. We have to row from time to time when we encounter some rapids, but I have to confess that most of the time is spent doing nothing at all or swimming around the boat. It is a rafting of class ...

... unprepared for the cold. Now was the time that Lee really needed his long sleeved T's but he had given them away to the mountain tribes in Kathmandu a few weeks earlier. Ah well, we will warm up as soon as we start climbing!<br><br>The second day saw us climb another 1000 metres to Ghorepani, where awaited the spectacular view of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalaya range of mountains from ...

... something that very few have is a life changing experience. <br>The pics will show u but doesn't do it justice.<br>there were rock slides and avalanches all the way to base camp and back so loud it shook the mtns... really tiny paths so really scary a sherpa slipped and almost knocked me off the path and trust me it wasnt a small drop on the other side.<br>Also a jap died already and a rockslide killed a sherpa on our way up.<br><br>"Reverly"<br>

... made. In time honoured English fashion I headed off to the shop to buy a bottle of red wine, having established that he liked to drink wine!<br><br>There is even a bar that I am now starting to think of as &#8220;my local&#8221; as we seem to meet up there for a beer from time to time. It is only now as I look back on previous entries that I can see how things have changed. This all feels very natural and I guess the only thing I do miss occasionally is being able to cook my own meals. I ...

... tourists, travellers and trekkers though...all doing the same stuff - its inevitable I guess. We are hoping to hire bikes and go for a cycle around the lake, and hire a row boat to go into the middle of it!!! We're such nature people now!!<br><br>Going on our trek tomorrow - we've met 2 guys, Axel and Chris (one from England, the other from Germany) and a girl, Fransisca, (from Germany) who are joining us on the trek ...

... it down, needed a lasse towards the end as got hotter and hotter! after we all moved our stuff to the new hotel (Amrit guesthouse) as hired a row boat and rowed ourselves across the lake to start the short hike up to the world peace pagoda, it was so hot that we had to stop about 10 times as we were all dripping within a few mins. the row across the amazing, brialliant scenery even if the himalayas still ...

... It was really good! I guess they make sure the food is great since climbers are paying so much money for their chance to summit Everest. <br>We met two young climbers: Ericka and Johnny, both Americans. Johnny is 17 (like Ericka) and is trying to climb the 7 summits (the 7 summits of each continent) before next January which will make him the youngest person in the world to have done so (less than 300 persons in the world have climbed the 7 summits). They were both very ...
