Day 3. On waking this morning we discovered that it had snowed overnight and everything looked completely different to yesterday. After breakfast we headed off to the mountains where we will do a bit of treking.
We are being accompanied on our trek by 2 young guys who are going to lead our pack horses.
The climb up into the mountains was quite hard going. It got gradually colder the higher we went but the scenery is spectacular. We found a patch of ground up on the top of the mountain and as it had started snowing! we built a campfire to keep us warm.
However, the snow was the least of our problems. We discovered that the questhouse had only given us a one man and a two man tent for 5 of us. Now even with my questionable maths skills, I know that just isn't going to work. Lucky Kenneth had to share the 2 man with our two (female) guides whilst David and I got the 1 man (our two horse wranglers walked to the nearest ger for the night). Kenneth definately had the better deal. Not only was our tent quite possibly the most claustraphobic tent in the universe but it also leaked. We got up at 5am because we couldn't stand it any longer.
