So we are back home and I must say it feels great to see everyone again! We both realise that here is where we are happiest so we have decided to stay here until we come home in July.  We have started our volunteer work at the Tibetan kids childcare centre and we love it. It is a charity set up so that low income Tibetan families can go out and work and leave their children at the centre for free. There are about 25 kids from 0-3 years here and the staff are great with them. Me and Soph go in from 9-12 6 mornings a week and play with the kids feed them and generally just help out. Our days here are quite busy which is one of the reasons we came back. I teach 3 guys English from 2-3, 2 girls from 3.30-4.30 and now  3 15 year old boys who have recently done the walk over the Himalayas to escape Tibet. So we are busy busy busy :)

Oh and we have also got a new pad which is fab. Our shower and toilet are outside but we have a big room with a sink in it and we have bought ourselves a gas stove so we can cook for ourselves which is awesome. We had both become so bored of eating out so it is perfect timing. We have a great view of  the Himalayas from our window will post some piccies up soon.

Last night we camped out in the Himalayas with Jam and Baby. We went up beside a waterfall. The walk up nearly killed me, I am so unfit it is embarassing. Anyway we finally got up there just as it was getting dark and the view was stunning and it was just so peaceful. The boys got to work collecting wood for a fire ( their Nomadic skills came in very handy) and got us a fire going. We just sat there chatting having a very cheeky vodie and then went and found somewhere to crash out that had more shelter round it. Me and Baby found an awesome lil place that just about had enough room for the 2 of us and it had big boulders round us and weh ad a pretty cosy nights sleep. It was fab just kicking back looking at the stars. When we woke up in the morning the sounds of the different birds was just lovely. While the weather is good we wanna get up there as much as we can. Oh and one other thing before I forget I shall be bridesmaid at Sophia's wedding. Her and Jam are getting married on May 7th!!!!!!!! They went to see a Lama today and he set the day for them. So am well chuffed for her he really is the sweetest guy so good luck to them :)
