Made it to Ghandrung, visited school, views of hills ...

Expedition leader Matt makes contact with Fee Bellamy and reports:

We have made it to Ghandrung and have had lunch. We managed to look around a school in Kimche. Martine took the contact details of the teacher. I have made a donation to the school health project on behalf of the expedition and the girls wrote in the journal to say who they were. Very good.

Clouds are down. Everyone is resting now after the tough day of trekking.
Unfortunately no views of the famous ' Fish Tail' mountain today (perhaps tomorrow?)* but views of the hills. We may go to museum later.

*Fish Tail Mountain 'Machapuchare'

*For information: Fish Tail Mountain ... Machapuchare  ("Fish Tail" in English), is a mountain in the Annapurna Himal of north central Nepal. It is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva and hence is off limits to climbing. It is one of the most photographed and distinctive mountains in the world.
