Nice early start at 5.30am for taxi pick up at 6am, an hour and half journey only took 25 minutes with this driver. At the bus park it was chaos as normal but we managed to get on the right bus that was busting at the seams. Standing room only but the ticket boy shouted at everyone and space was made by moving bags and sacks of stuff of the seats. After an hour the bus emptied and we had plenty of space for the next 3 hours.
Arriving in Tansen was not what we expected, it was just like anywhere else we had been to in Nepal. We was met by a young girl who took us to the homestay we were staying for the one night. My god it was all up hill I was shattered by the time we got there. The room was really nice and so was the family, having dinner with them tonight as everywhere is closed in the town. Brought some fruit and more crackers for lunch, we headed up the mountain side to a semi built view tower. The view tower was as big as a light house, we climbed the stairs to see amazing views of the Himalayas, being a beautiful sunny day helped with the views. Walked along the ridge to a Buddha statue and another view point, then we headed back down to the town. Looking forward to seeing the the white lake that forms over the town when the cloud covers it as we are so high up. Wandered around the town for a couple of hours, sorted the bus out for tomorrow and it leaves at 10am so we get a bit of a lay in.
Had dinner with the family which was interesting but nice at the same time as we got to see how they live and we taught them some English.
