In the morning we had cooked breakfast - on the gas cooker ...as it was not only warm but it was a means of getting our hands defrosted.
Next step was to meet the horses, Reni's first reaction was a poor horse carrying my ass up the hills with another heavy load on his back already. The road to the Tibetan village was interesting at least to say, have you ever seen horse ice scatting... neither did we until this day. Accept it was not us much fun as we were on the back's of the horses and the winding path was again interesting especially when you looked down the hill and imagined yourself ling down the dig with horse on you, actually Reni said she would kill the horse if it failed down. We have arrived to the village, alive, however as Romi's horse was a bit of a lively character and constantly was jogging along to the point when I Romi did realised how Bridget's Jones knickers would come handy. Let's just say that asking your friend ( however good they might be) to put a dressing on your crack is off my to do list before I turn 30.

TIBETAN FAMILY
The house was so pretty, typically Tibetan style, and from the moment we have arrived until we left we were well looked after. So much food and beer and FIRE WATER, which we have later found had dead snake in - yam. The next day we had only beer. Some of our highlights were getting up in the morning going for a wee and finding a whole in the ground which is not so surprising however what was bellow was amazing a little Chinese pig and it did refuse to move... Also playing card with the two boys was great fun especially as they cheating skills were amazing...

CLIMB TO THE ICE MOUNTAIN
As the horses did not have so much on their back only us we were hopping the trek won't be as dangerous, however there were point when we had to get of the horses for both of our safety. But the scenery and view was breath taking, especially if you have asthma and you are about 4000 meters above the sea level. The view was so much worth it, even that I Romi have almost found myself in frozen river when my horses legs gave away.

BACK TO SONGPAN
And as you most probably asking if any of us fell off the horse the answer is YES. Group did, luckily the horse did not get hurt, oh and neither did Reni only bruises on her legs.

I AM CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE - SECOND TAKE
Back to our lovely hotel, only this time there was no electricity as well, so we had lovely romantic evening - candle light.... biscuits... and frozen to the bones and smelling of horses...



Rano jsme si dali teplou snidani, kterou jsme si pomoci naseho plynoveho sporacku uvarily a zaroven se i ohraly- polivka jako od Vitany.
Stretnuti s konmi bylo zajimave, specialne kdyz jsme videli nejen kolik uz toho bozatka na sobe meli nalozeno, ale take jejich velikost, a to jeste meli tahat nase rite. Zivot kone je ale k..., a kort kdyz jste v cine, nejen ze musi tahat na zadech turisty a naklad, ale take musi umet bruslit. No cesta byla docela desiva, nejen ze to tem konum klouzalo, ale i predstava byt zavalen konem v roklyne se nam taky dvakrat nezamlouvala. I kdyz Renca rikala, ze ona by spise toho kone zavalila nez naopak. Ale nakonec jsme tam dorazily, zive, no ale zdrave to uz je jina story. Romcin konicek mel hodne energie a klusal no a tak to zchytala jeji rit. Jeste, ze jsme nemela tanga no ono by to asi stejne vyslo na stejno. Vedela jsem ze se z Rencou zblizime, ale abych ji zadala o osereni prdele tak to jsme neocekavala.

TIBETSKA RODINA
Domecek jako z pohadky, typicky tibetsky styl. Od chvile kdy jsme do razily bylo o nas dobre postarano, jidla do nas cpali vrchem dolem, pivko a OHNIVA VODA, v ktere jsme si az na druhy den vsimly plaval ozraly had. Jedna z perlicek bylo kdyz jsem (Romca) rano sla na zachod, tak tu diru v zemi jsem ocekavala, ale co bylo pod ni to ne. Cinske prasatko a nechtelo se mrcha pohnout no tak jsem mu pomohla. Ono asi nemelo rado teplou sprchu po ranu.... Take byla skvela sranda mastit karty s detmi, podvadeli jak silene, ale byla to prca.

VYSTUP NA LEDOVOU HORU
Predpokladaly jsme, ze to bude mnohem jednodussi pro konicky, kdyz povezou pouze nas, ale byly chvile, kdy to bylo v zajmu nas vsech a z konu jsme slezly. I kdyz bylo tak trosicku zima a Ja Romca jsem se malem promenila v rampouch, kdyz se memu konickovi rozjely nohy pri prebrodeni reky a ja se vydela v ni. Vyhled byl nadherny az Renca popadala dech, predevsim, kdyz mate astma a jste nejakych 4000 metru nad morem.

ZPET DO SONGPANU
Urcite Vas vsechny zajima jestli nekdo spadl z kone. Samorzejme a hadejte kdo?...no ja... ja Renca...nastesti se koni nic nestalo no ani me nic, jen par malych modrinek... 20x20cm ale to se zahoji nez se vdam....

BOJOVE PODMINKY PO DRUHE
Zpet do naseho skveleho hotelu, uz vime co nas ceka a nemine. Omyl... tentokrat uz jsme nemely narok ani na electriku, takze jsme mely romaticky vecer pri svickach....se susenkama.... zmrzle na kost a smrdely jako kone...
