Our long trip to Nepal
... for the cheapest shop, the festival was in full swing and there was a traffic jam in the main street, there were utes full of people yelling out and bashing tambourines together – it was SO loud but gave off a great atmosphere. After finally pushing our way through the crowds we got to our shop and after much collaboration Nicola, Rhys and I finally picked out our poles.
We dropped our goodies off at the hotel then found a taxi to ...
Das Dach der Welt
... Sinn :-p Allerdings war ich trotzdem froh ueber den Rasttag, den ich uebrigens fast komplett im Bett verbracht habe, weil ich den Husten, den ich mir dann doch noch geholt habe, auskurieren wollte.
