D'ya wanna a brew?
A kind-hearted villager takes pity on us (though I did notice when she first appeared on the scene she looked quite amused), opens up the guesthouse kitchen, pops the kettle on (well, chucks another log on the fire) and makes us a nice cup of fresh mint tea (word's spread throughout the region that the two Limeys in the pastel ponchos are rather partial to a drop of the green stuff). It should be noted that in order to take the picture I had to use a flash - our little kitchen shelter was actually in semi-darkness. Also worth noting is that fine Nepalese smile - so common in these parts.
