More Annapurna

Day 5-The mayor of Chame, a village of around a thousand people. After requesting his photo, he insisted I enjoy a drink with him of the local rice wine. Kind of a cross between vodka and Windex.

Day 8-Gangapurna Lake, 4000m. A run up 10 stairs left you struggling for 5 minutes. Climbing up to this fluoroescent lake had us needing a rest day.

Day 9-Yak Khaka. Creatively named after the yaks. This guy was a total poser.
Day11 - going over the top of Thorung-La Pass at 5416m. This was the one bit of sky we saw on this day. Seconds after this photo was taken I was enveloped in snow, and visibility fell to about 15 metres.
