Brigitte, Tim's wife, got a phone call today from Tim, reassuring us that they'd arrived safe and sound in Leh. Leh, in summertime a popular destination for treks, climbing, mountain bike and motorbike tours, is empty from tourists. Just the locals. It's winter time, not many go to this place at this time of the year. Strange, but I can understand this ;-) They're staying in a very basic guesthouse, and by basic I mean BASIC: no running water, electricity or beds. They sleep on the floor, so an excellent opportunity to try out their sleeping bags and pads.. There's hot tea though, served by the owner. Hopefully they find a beer in some bar, but this is buddhist territory... so who knows? Hot tea with yak-butter... yummie! What else do you eat here? Kashmir kitchen buddhist style, I've not come across that cook book yet ;-) Anyhow, the boys are having a great time and out to discover Leh with its ancient culture and many temples. The sky is BLUE and with a snowwhite mountainrange in the background, it sure is stunning.With Bram in India, Seb in Sweden, Benjamin sleeping over at Maugan's; me, Alex and Gab will camp out in front of the tele with a chicken stirfry and a good movie. 100% coachpotatoes. Enjoy your weekend, love Jenny
