Today we made the mistake of ignoring Peter's warnings of the gale force afternoon winds, and reluctantly set off from Kagbeni in the late morning.
By 11am the winds were in full force and all 4 of us were muttering words not to be repeated as we walked with our heads down over the gravel roads spraying us with mouthfuls of dust. When we made it to the depressing town on Jomsom, we were happy to march on to Marpha for the night.
When we arrived we were so glad to meet Peter who had left the day before, and as group reunited we settled in for a late lunch in the sun.
In the evening Derek and Adam set out for an exploration of town, and found themselves walking through crumbling alleyways that led them to observe a local volleyball game and resulted in them coming home with Tibetan purchases and some great dried Marpha apples - the best in the world!
Adlibing it in the wind.
