Breakfast, and the bloody museli's got bloody Napthaline in it.

The owner of the house offers to guide us to the Kwangde base camp. He proceeds to take us totally the wrong way along dangerous paths to the Nupste basecamp. We were not very happy and that's all I have to say about that.

Decending back to Phakding, we stayed at another monestry (‘Gonda’ on the map). It’s a peaceful place with a airy courtyard up in the pines. We are invitied in to the kitchen/living room/bedroom of the few monks still around. They introgate Pasang while we play cars and drink more chhang.

We sleep out in the open (except Al who insists in putting up a tent) in the courtyard and watch the full moon through the trees.
