... at around 10 km. By that point gert had a shocking headache and couldnt go on any further so he went on with the driver to our camping spot 17 km on. Having stopped off along the way in a traditional tibettan house and had some pretty awful tasting tea and flour paste stuff (it has a name - but escapes me...) me and rose carried on. By 20 km rose couldn't walk any more and got picked up by a passing car to take her to the camping site, i had a decision to make and thought i'd ...

... On a aussi vu deux camions renverses et un bus totalement ecrase, rassurant, mais faut voir les virages et l'etroitete de la route. <br>Me suis installe, me suis reconforte, puis suis alle m'inscrire pour faire du parapente demain matin 11h30, en esperant que le ciel soit bien degage pour bien voir les Annapurnas... Trop cool, pour 70 euros la demi heure, mais je pense que ce sera plus, Dee est reste en l'air presque 2 h.... Jsuis fan..<br>Me renseigne aussi pour ...

... to higher elevations where the towns and views just continued to get better. Unfortunately, health issues crept up on us after the accumulation of some tough days along with the increased altitude and cold. Lindsey and Chris were nursing colds, which weren&#8217;t healing all that quickly at ...

... not cool to walk on. Lots of buses/jeeps and dust, dust, dust! We had one resting day in Kalopani and that was great. We enjoyed a great breakfast (no cookies!), lunch and dinner. On day 16 (out of 17) Dale forgot his camera on a wall somewhere so got back to collect it and of course it was gone. However the Nepali people helped so much, because they tracked down the porter (there was one sitting next to us when he forgot it) and his living place ...

... rise over the Annapurna mountain range behind. Apparently we got the best view out tour guide has seen in 3 years of doing the trip!! At some point pics of this will make it on here but until then you will just have to take my word for it! It was pretty special.<br><br>I've also now got an extension to my visa for Nepal so i don't have to overpay when i leave around the end of the month!<br><br>Nearly the end of tour number 1 which is a shame. Had a really good time with some very ...

... Kathmandu to arrange for our next adventure, which will be in the Everest/Khumbu region of Nepal. Here are a couple of pictures of sunset from where we had dinner. Hope all is well with all of you. We are doing just fine, it will be nice to put our feet up and relax for a couple of days of no walking!<br><br>Bry and Deb

Day 8<br> Before heading further up we stocked up on snack bars as for few coming days we will be experiencing only basic facilities. I bought also my favourite cinnamon roll. On account of ecological reasons I was carrying with me all the way up an empty plastic bottle to be used as an additional water container for the pass crossing. My intention was to avoid buying a single bottle along the trek (my aluminium tank is perfectly sufficient for daily ...

... rain and clouds dominated the morning view. Riding a motorbike was fun though, even if I don&#8217;t have the licence for it nor did I know how to ride it before I rented it. Another thing that I however did know was how much my parents would love the idea of me learning to ride a motorbike in a place like Nepal where they don&#8217;t have any rules on the roads. But no worries, I&#8217;ve learned to tell them these kinds of things only after I&#8217;ve done them.<br><br ...

... to stay on the path. As it was so wet underfoot there were of course the usual leeches. They really are disgusting things&#8230;&#8230;and every day at least one of the little perishers finds its way into my sock&#8230;..YUCK!!<br><br>At the start of our upward journey we were given tantalising glimpses of the mountains but the higher we climbed the heavier the cloud cover became, so that by the time we reached the &#8220;Happy Heart Hotel&#8221; we could hardly see 20 m in front of us.<br ...

... couple we met on the path and another Chinese girl. It seemed they were part of a bigger group and the rest were in another boat. As we set off it started to rain again. The boatsman shoved a paddle at me and muttered that I could help then we would get there quicker!! In fact I quite enjoyed having a paddle but he was a right misery! I jokingly asked if I would get a discount and he just glared at me&#8230;..oh well. My new Chinese friends insisted I have my ...
