    Today, we trek with pack horses and a small back pack with our clothes in for 3 days.
    The next 3 days we explore the 8 lakes district. Sitting at 2,200 metres, ancient volcanic craters contain clear blue alpine lakes surrounded by tall forested mountains. The area's thousands of plant species, include medicinal varieties.

    Also, we fit Kevin with longer stirrups, a sheepskin saddle cover I brought with me and hope we both feel better.
    Turns out, it makes a world of difference for both of us. I'm more comfortable and Kev doesn't shake his head as much. He's now "Kev" because I like him better now 😊

    Today, Dianne has a tummy upset and projectile vomits off the top of her horse. One of American Annie's all time awesome moments apparently 🤣. She's never seen that before!!

    After lunch, which she can't eat, she walks slowly on her horse at the back with Mocha and the pack horse.
    I stay behind for the last part of the trek. I'm not wanting to do the galloping and want to stay with Di. Kev is not a fan so I have to keep him in check.

    Stay in another family guest ger at the base of some hills and a small creek. They farm or herd 🦬 yaks and sheep that shed their wool. They milk the yaks
