We were suppose to leave at 6:00am, so I woke up early ready to leave in time. I guess I have lost my touch because the guide, our transport was no where to be found. They did arrive an hour later 'on-time'. We drove through beautiful terrain, majestic mountains and then, we stopped. A landslide had blocked the road, so we had to abandon our jeep walk to the other side and wait for another jeep. Our new transport couldn't take us very far since the bridge on route broke down as well. We now had to wait for about 3 hours before we got our next transport. Finally we arrived in Askole at 8:30pm; our 90 miles journey took 13hours.
I met a couple of Americans, one of them lives in NJ (what are the chances of that?). They love it and were quite excited by the whole ordeal; "its like you are transported back in time".
We got here much later then expected so tomorrow the weights for porters will be arranged; its going to be a long day tomorrow.
