Still in Leh

Snowstorm today in Leh, as expected. No flights, as expected. Tomorrow morning there's a window for some short improvement, before next front of bad weather moves in, estimated to last through the weekend. So they keep their fingers crossed that they'll be able to fly out. They're on the priority list, and the local guys from the trek are really helpful, keeping them updated on the whole situation, making sure they get out when first opportunity present itself. Not much to do in Leh of course, since the weather is bad, you cannot go and climb a mountain either! Arno apparently spends most of the time sleeping... Tim and Bram have found their daily routines having a tea somewhere, then onto the internet café reading the blog (yeah!!), making the necessary phonecalls etc. It's freezing cold everywhere since there's no heating.. Food is apparently the same thing everyday, not very exciting I suppose. This morning Bram went out in the snowstorm for a 2hr walk up to a monestery to see a munk to say his prayers and lay down a prayer flag... maybe the weathergod (Buddha?) heard him. So stay tuned... xx Jen
