After breakfast and picking up a few supplies Roberto and I got a cab to Phedi at 11, and started up the hill. After about 45 mins we were only about 50m from where we started but about 250m* above it. All day I kept thinking that the top of the hill was in site and then had to remind myself that Annapurna is 6 or 7 days away, and then we still have to walk back. The visibility was down to maybe 5km at times but the sun was out & the views were still pretty awesome. The weather to the north, where we’re heading, looks pretty moody tho.
We did about 10 – 15km and went from 700m to 2100m altitude. In the eve we had a laugh with some other trekkers and Roberto beat me at chess (again). Tomorrow we drop 500m to cross a valley and may make a detour to some hot springs.
I will paper blog again soon.

*for those of you not used to the metric system a meter is about 2 cubits and a kilometer about 50 chains.
