04 Prayer flags
There are trees and lots of them and hundreds of waterfalls fed by the monsoon rains which are still very much in evidence. Despite beautifully blue-skied mornings, by mid-afternoon the heavens are leaden and our waterproofs are bound to come in handy.

We seemed to descend for most of the day along a very precarious road indeed that many on the truck found quite nerve-wracking. After a night in a suitably dodgy border-style hotel (luckily Sian didn't hear about the mice and rats until after we'd left!) we crossed into Nepal. We got a fantastic welcome - people seem genuinely happy to see us and were waving madly at the sight of our truck (in fact we think they are highest on the 'waveometer' since the Kyrgyz!). I think we're all going to get arm-ache...
