- F#%*ing big walk from Jomsom to Tower: Michael, Trish, Gools, Thommo, Siva & I walked up. A 2 hour walk they said!! It was 3 hours 30 minutes 😳 The first 1/3 was OK on steps, the second 1/3 was hard on a rocky path with some snow & the final 1/3 was f$#*ing tough - steep, snow covered & I had no powerleft in my legs! I had to hold Michael's had to keep me balance & be encouraged to keep going.
The others had driven to the top & cheered us on to finish.
The view of Nilgiri range was spectacular!! We were shattered!!
We then drove down the mountain (another hairy drive) to a village, where we had lunch at what looked like accommodation. The room where we ate was dark, with low seats. They were lighting the fire, so the room was smoked out. We loved the apple chips, they gave us. We also sampled apple brandy (like rocket fuel to start but grew on you). 😄
We then went back to the hotel, had a coffee & a shower, then went to a bar, where Rajeesh (our musican) was playing.
Eddie played guitar & Michael & Bippin sang songs 🎤😄
Then dinner & bed!!Read more
