Trek Days 8 & 9

Yesterday we descended 1400m!! and covered as much distance as 2¼ days up. The temperature went from about -5°C to +25°C.
Today was harder with much more up and down, but we made it back the Chhomrung.
Have just been watching the news on TV for the first time in months. So many terrible things happening with the Japan earthquake and the North Africa / Middle East troubles.
Makes blogging seem a bit insignificant. I feel like going back up the mountain to hide away from it all.
Anyway I’m in a cozy room with windows on 2 sides that would have amazing views if the cloud cleared.
We’ve chosen a longer route back to see another town so tomorrow will be hard work.
