> There was less cloud cover so the skies were even bluer than before

> We passed the same houses that we had passed by during the first trek

> The locals viewed us with a mix of curiousity and bemusement

> "Do Give Me That Crap" - collection of animal manure into the basket, for collation in mega piles which, because of the humidity and temperature, do not actually smell much (although I did not exactly shove my nose right up to the piles to test!)

> We crossed into a large plain, with dozens (probably hundreds) of grazing critters.

> These small buildings are work huts where farmers in the day although it appears that they don't actually sleep there.

> We approached one, and heard singing from within. Our guide said it was because she was churning yak butter.
