Descent

This really is turning out to be the most amazing month of my life! From diving the Andamans, discovering coral reefs and seeing dugongs, to standing in the presence of the third tallest mountain in the world, Kanchenjunga, after the most gruelling 8 day trek in the Himalayas through mud, rain, leeches, and steep 4 to 6 hour non-stop uphill walks day after day. I'm back in Yuksom, where I have very slow internet in a government information hut, but I should be back in Darjeeling in a few days time, so I'll upload the photos and tell all about the trek. All I can say is this has definitely been the most awesome and humbling experience in my whole life. The pictures will blow you away.... I'm so glad I've done this, even though it's cost me over a month's budget!
