... biology and geography i believe). Curiously enough I discover that mom in Ladahi (that's what I think they were talking) is "AMA" - isn't it cool?! Also the writing resembles Arabic in a very suspicious way. &#8232;The dinner was served, and it was tasty! :) A short photo session, and it's a time to go to sleep. The thermometer shows +6C in my room. But the military sleeping bag looks warm and I got another extra blanket. But I still go to sleep with all my clothes on, good night! <br><br>

... m meeting Victor, it's so funny to meet the same folks you saw once. The meeting place this time was a decent local eatery - "Tibetan Food" they called it, located at the main "plaza", on the second floor of some shop. We exchanged the experiences and the pictures. He has got some really interesting ones from Dha - a village to the west of Leh. We decide to go there after we return from Nubra. He proposes me to visit the local gompa in the morning to watch the morning pray.<br> <br>

... Stok La - the mountain pass at 4.9 km, but for some reason it took me almost twice as much - I'm not sure why. It was snowing a day before yesterday, and the Northern slops were still covered with some 2-3 centimeters. I can't blame it, basically it was almost a challenging walk for me. Two more folks were walking next to me, and they were not much faster. We reached the pass by 12:00, the views to the valley were just as usual - outstanding. The weather also was very nice - I even ...

... land. <br><br>For the last night, we camp in Skarchen (3800m). Sonja is not feeling well: Diarrhea. She rests while I go the kitchen tent and spend two hours watching Sirin making Parai Mou Mou and other dishes. I write down everything.<br><br>Parai Mou Mou(cr)<br><br>Preparation:<br><br>- 1 big onion (chopped ...

... pas et ne me respecte pas jusqu&#8217;à ce que je demande à l&#8217;homme à ma droite de lui dire clairement d&#8217;arrêter de me toucher. j&#8217;arrive au col quelque peu troublée. David m&#8217;y retrouve. On récupère les casques qu&#8217;on avait oublié et entamons la descente. En connaissant la route, elle nous semble plus facile. Et bien entendu, cette fois nous avons dégonflé un peu les pneus. <br><br>A ZINGRAL, nous nous arrêtons pour remercier l&#8217 ...

Wouuuuuuu !<br><br>Moins seduite par New Delhi la bruyante et la poussiereuse ou j&lt;ai passee une journee seulement a marcher ici et la (Gaelle: J&lt;ai eu ton message trop tard !).

... gestured us over to him, us thinking he'd show us some amazing picture or idol. It was a sign "Buy one of my rubbish charm things for 100 Re. If you can't be bothered, by a rubbish braid you can get in Leh for 1 Re, but instead for 20." Thanks, no thanks.<br>And now we're back in Leh.<br>Met up with those who didn't attempt the climb, who saw the Dalai Lama today (I'm really jealous) and went to our cake shop (oooooh man i loooove de cake.) and after getting bracelets at a ...

... situatsioonis.<br>Hotellis on lauad kaetud. Näeb pidulik välja. Põlevad küünlad, sest elektrit pole. Kõigepealt tuuakse maitsev aedviljasupp, seejarel ports kausse: riis, kaste, oad, maitsestatud praetud kartul, spinat. Teenindav personal jälgib seina äärest söömist tähelepanelikult. Kõik maitseb imehea, aga kõike ära süüa ei jaksa. Hämmastavatest kohtadest võib ikka leida head sööki. Kõrvallauas hirskavad saksa tädid. Valan kõik teega üle ja veeren magama.

... the paved road...the road we left to hike up the sand dune. Lesson learned. These smart French trekkers had hired themselves a guide. So we decided to follow a little ways behind them as far as we possibly could. Our free guide led us down a shortcut down the mountain and back to the road for a lovely hour or so walk mostly down the gently sloping road. When we reached a river valley (also on our ...

Well I arrived here in Leh without a hitch. The 3 flights, Manchester-Frankfurt-Delhi-Leh all went to plan. Despite arriving in Delhi at 12:30am the heat was very oppressive, must be a nightmare during the day. The Delhi-Leh flight gave me my first view of the Himalayas, endless rows of snow capped peaks, magnificent. Leh is very impressively situated in an open plain surrounded by snow capped mountains. The town is over looked by a ...
