Woke at dawn to musical chimes. A large train of mules passing down the mountain each one sounding a different note from the large bell around their neck. I stepped out on to our rooftop balcony to watch the sunrise over annapurna south.
An easier day trekking today. We've left the incessant steps behind and follow a jumbled cobblestone path winding its serpentine way ever upwards through rhododendrum forests. Bry stops to take some photos and manages to delete everything on the camera. Oh well I have a brainload of pictures and some snaps on my phone.
It's hard to explain how high the mountains are here. They just keep on going.
We stop at ghorepani. It gets cold very quickly and we go from shorts and tshirts to puffer jackets and merinos as soon we stop walking. Watch the world go by and warm up with tea and apple pie. The afternoon clouds roll in and deliver a short burst of hail so we curl up in front of the fire in a 44 gallon drum in the restaurant and have some time to read.
Namaste Sandy x
