We woke to a bright sunny morning. The air was warm and the surroundings seemed to be drying. However going to the bathroom - the sleeping leeches woke up and headed straight for me. I got out of there as soon as possible.
I didn't feel great as I ate breaky and neither did Briel.
We had a 40 minute steep uphill trek to Chomrong - which was our destination for last night. The trek there was a bit easier - only 1 leech today for all of us. That was a relief but I was still looking down every 30 seconds. I think I was traumatised! errrr
This is an old village which is very cute and really working - not just a tea house area stop over like some other places. So we had a great morning looking around and seeing how these locals who have lived here for generations work and play. Mostly they worked and worked hard.I saw men carrying stones from the forest to their house where the women of the house were then using a hammer to grind them to small rocks. With this they would manually make cement like stuff to continue to build their home. WOW...
We had lunch here - nice pizzas! The views here were great - and on a good day you can see far into the Himalayas. That wasn't today though :( However since we were still a bit blahed out from yesterday we decided to stay here the afternoon. We were so exhausted we slept all afternoon and only woe up for dinner then slept again!
Relaxed day. Maybe we can get over yesterday - but so far still traumatised! errr
Ciao for now!
