Day 529 - Marpha - Lete (2480m)

While Liv charged off and then waited with Peter in a Dutch cafe eating chocolate cake, Adam took his time hanging out with the locals in Marpha and helping them transport cow dung down to the fields for fertilising. The wee boy had a good laugh at Adam straining under his dad's load, before he eventually set off to find his girlfriend.
As Liv didn't feel too well today Peter and the Canadian boys went ahead to find a good hotel, but unfortunately forgot to keep a lookout for the trailing Adlibers who proceeded to walk 20 minutes beyond the hotel, at which point Liv stopped and Adam ran back and forth until he found our missing friends!
Luckily we weren't too upset as we managed to get a great room for a bargain price in a hotel that overlooked Mt Dhaulagiri (7th highest in the world at 8,172m)! The suset over the Annapurna range was stunning - a great backdrop for our dinner! Adam continued the theme of exploring while Liv continued the theme of relaxing - on his return he had stories of young boys and their wood chopping chores!Adlibing a mountain sunset.
