Day 5 October 21, 2011

Location: The local restaurant.

Woke up again 2.30am but to a torrential monsoon downpour I had never experienced. The noise was unbelievable and by 7am the majority of the water dried. The place I was staying was cheap (300 NPR) so only 4 USD a night but shall I say the facilities were a little lacking, I just wasn't ready for squatting just yet. So I moved to a different place called the Lake Vally View or something for a little bit more a night but nice bathroom shower ensuite and comfortable. I think it was the best decision I have made this holiday so far as I've managed to get along very well with the local family that run the place. Didn't manage to get on the river today but I'm sure tomorrow will be an upper seti day for me. Anyway just a short post today as nothing much happened besides going shopping for some clothing items. If anyone wants to know, I bought a decent rain coat for 1000 rupees so only 13 USD. Same for some long trekking pants, and sun glasses were 7 USD, and a watch only $6 US so it's pretty inexpensive and down jackets depending on the quality around around $30 USD but I'm sure if you bargained hard you could get one for 20 or 15 dollars. Anyway, I haven't been uploading photos my whole blog but I have been editing my old posts and adding in photos in with captions. All the best.
