Here we are outside the tea house. It had a lovely sunny terrace outside the front where we could sit and soak up the sun as we waited for our lunch to be prepared and for the rest of our trekking group to arrive from another direction.
Two other Scandanavian trekkers who were also staying there provided some entertainment when they decided to try out the outdoor shower with a view.
As there was no running water in the tea house, our hostess had to heat up some water then carry it out to the shower. Even though she was no spring chicken she nimbly shimmied up the wall with a heavy load of hot water and filled the container on the shower roof which provided the hot water to the shower.
While it looked fun we didn't have a go as we'd showered the day before and you can't shower too often on trek in Nepal: firstly as it is relatively expensive (a shower costs more than a room for 2 people) and, more importantly, it requires a lot of precious wood to be burned to heat the water.
It was probably more fun as a spectator sport anyway.
Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

So glad you resisted the shower. It would not have been 'green' to partake, and it is not good to wash too much oil from your fur.
