We’re finally hitting reasonable altitude and the views are certainly rewarding us.

 

Today we got our first view on Annapurna ii looming over the valley and to make it even better it’s ended up being the view from our door tonight.

We had lunch in an apple orchard which had a café that would have fit in at Alby crafts (for those of you from Norfolk) the building was pure white and triangular with big glass ends. I don’t know why I didn’t take a photo. I guess I was too busy eating the fresh apple muffins.

Yesterday we had a great day untill the last hill where we pushed ourselves a little too hard and ended up exhausted and stopping early at a teahouse with no other guests.

In hindsight it was actually pretty cool. We got to sit in the kitchen and make semi awkward small talk but seeing what goes on behind the scenes it pretty fun. There was a big lazy cat warming himself by the fire. A little 1 month old pup (who was a little too nippy for my liking) playing with everyone. There was no discussion of who does what and I don’t remember even noticing the for being prep. It was very smooth.

We went to bed a little anxious about the rest of the elevation to come. Which has being calm today. Still lots of unknown, but excitement trumps worry for sure.
