Easy Breezy

Easy Breezy - That's how day two felt for us. We had heard through the grapevine that the second day of our trek was meant to be the easiest and much to our delight, it was! It started off with a few remaining stairs as we left Ulleri, but after that it was smooth sailing.
We made it to Ghorepani with enough time for Yehuda to take a nap before we made our way up Poonhill for sunset. Poonhill was very quiet for sunset. The mountains were glowing, the sun was sinking behind them and the weather started dropping fast! We made our way back in the dark with only our cellphones to help light the way.

Pont D'arc is stunning! It's a beautiful natural arc that was formed as the river grew. It started off as a rock wall and then slowly as time went on the river wore away at the rock and formed a magnificent arc that you can go look at. There's kayaking and water sports that people do on the river. There are also some natural hikes around. Luckily for us we were there right after tourist season so it wasn't too busy and we were able to hike to one of the areas that is basically right under the arc. After that we drove to Pont Du Gard which is a Roman built aqueduct bridge. It is crazy that they made this thing without any machinery! We actually went down to the beach that's underneath the aqueduct and went into the water. It was absolutely freezing but the water was crystal clear! Unlike the earlier beach, this beach was actually a rock beach so it was really hard to walk around with all those rocks under our toesss! Until Next Time... ...

Charmonix

Although our trip to Charmonix was unplanned, it was one of our favorite parts of France. It is absolutely freezing at night so staying in the van was out of the question. We had to splurge and spend a few nights indoors. “Words can’t even describe our time in Charmonix” - Yehuda. Our first day there we went up Mont Blanc. The mountains all around were huge with their tallest peaks covered in snow! We knew this was going to be a really special experience. On the cable car we took there were two stops - one halfway up the mountain and the other to the tippy top. We decided to go all the way up first. Our trip up was terrifying - we were going so high and the village below kept getting smaller. At one point we started swinging and there was a collective “ahhhhh” as we all freaked out together. Thank god we went in the same car as a church group who was praising god the whole way up. When we got to the top it was breathtaking, not only because of how absolutely freezing it was, but becaus...

Sarangkot

Time in Nepal is a very interesting concept. Napalese people seem to think time goes by quickly, or atleast things move quickly. Take us humans for example, when a Nepalese person says a hike will take an hour, they assume humans move quickly, thus they will get to their destination quickly. That was never the case for us on this trip. We heard about Sarangkot... we heard it was easy, it was only a 2-3 hour walk. But, somehow, Yehuda and I managed to turn it into a 4.5 hour walk. It took us forever! We walked from our hotel all the way up to the top. The view was nice but sadly it was a little foggy the day we chose to do it. We also happened to have gotten harassed by a dog on our path which totally bugged me out and made the experience a difficult one for me.
