INDIAN ADVENTURE - 12th October - Trek day 5
Last day of trekking.
Today we walked back down. It was a really nice route down the ridge - not too steep but exceptionally slow! We were met at the bottom by an Indian TV crew and think we couldn't be early so it was slow all the way.
I was sad to leave the top and in other circumstances would have liked to walk up much higher. I'd love to come back with Mark and explore some more.
When we reached the bottom there was a large banner from RB Eastern region of India and a ribbon cut by Seema. We even had champagne or some Indian attempt - not very tasty but great to celebrate.
Today we all worn our Save the Children red t-shirts so it looked good coming down the mountian and for the TV cameras.
Before we returned to the hotel Seema took Alex and I to have our eyebrows done 'Indian style' by threading. This was amazing, they take a piece of tread and twist it and use the tightening of the twists to pull out the hairs. What was amazing was it didn't hurt at all - although there was a strange ripping sound!
Tonight half the people went into Mcleod Ganj for dinner desperate for a change from curry! I took a taxi in with Alex, Mark and Carl and we had salad and pizza. I've not been as sick of curry as a lot of the others - maybe it's because we eat so much at home! Bizarrely we'd planned to meet some other people but there were 2 restaurants in Macleod ganj called Jimmy's Italian kitchen so we missed each other until after dinner!
Back at the hotel it was time for a shower and
