Trek Day 4






Photos:
1) Found out from this guy (who had a radio and a phone) that Barack Obama had won the US Election.
2) Porters at lunch in Gandaki: Kalpana, Tara, Bhima, Anita, Chandra, Sarita & Moti
3) Waiting for lunch in the sun: Tara, Kalpana with a random stranger's baby, Moti, Durga, Bhima, Tash & Izzy
4) Izzy, John & Nirma at the tea house in Chame (2700 or 2800 m - we're not exactly sure)

We are in Chame for the night with views of Manaslu from our courtyard. We had a short hike after lunch, and arrived here around 3pm. Early showers (warm-ish!), laundry in buckets, bought some spare batteries and safe drinking water (hooray - no iodiney taste), had tea, yoga in the room with Rachel, dinner in a snuggly cozy common room with warm coals under the table - met new friends funny, sweet Joyce from Hong Kong and adorable Neil from Israel.
