17/8 Early start to our last day in Leh! Once again we ride along the challenging, death defying roads of India - this time we wind to the top of the worlds third highest roadway (and worst toilet so far!!) enroute to Panong Lake.
Once at the top the altitude bit me again and I took a visit to the army medical centre feeling very poorly! Oxygen check, more Panadol and 'be getting lower now' we set off down the other side on equally horrendous roads...
Ten hours round trip to see a blue lake and sit on a Yak!!! Why not?!!! It's India!!!
Back to the Yak Tail Hotel for our final night - where we feel at home with the intermittent hot water, broken toilet seat, power blackouts, rock hard beds, barking dogs all night and the minarets calling those to prayer at three am ... but the meals are wonderful and the staff very friendly!!!
Dinner started with a song prepared by Shari and Rosie which was to the tune of 12 days of Xmas about our Leh Trip - it was hilarious - included the cold showers, lack of the mystical blue sheep ... etc!!
18/8 up at stupid o'clock to catch the early flight to Delhi. The security is India at its absolute best, check point after check point after check point finally found us on the plane - me minus my spare camera batteries - sealed in the packet ... oh well!!!
Agra here we come!!!
