We started the day as usual with as early 7:30 breakfast.
This time was too early for Anna as she locked Jemima in their room even though
she had been told to wait. After
breakfast we loaded into off roaders to go to the white water rafting. We met
the worst driver in India, who beeped at armed men, skipped army check points
and nearly ran into army trucks. Once on the water we started what the boat
captains called games…. Swapping boats, jumping into the water and splashing each
other, this was when we weren't going down massive rapids. At the end Andy
decided to jump onto another boat and proceeded to empty it of its occupants. We
saw some of the best scenery so far today whilst on the water…. It was
breathtaking! On the way back the driver seemed to get lost on a straight road
and then asked us for direction.
In the afternoon we went into Leh where we decided that we
needed to embrace the local traditions and bought traditional clothes. We have
enjoyed the challenge of buying local merchandise and attempting to barter with
the shop keepers. People have bought Meditation Bowls, which make a very
“Therapeutic” sound.
