Early start to cockerals again with breakfast outside this time. After collecting our kit (not a lot as we were travelling light) and more water plus loads of goodbyes we set off down a small path out of the village towards the hills.
Mist lay over the hilltops for an hour or so and eventually we came to the edge a massive escarpment and started to descend down a track which at times seemed to be made for goats. Overall we descended around 1500 ft down into another valley and after about five hours got into flattish ground and more dirt roads winding through small villages.
Lunch was pot noodles and a drink of tea and then it was back on the road walking past thatched houses where kids were always were shouting hello and goodbye - sometimes not in the correct order but that did not matter.
Ocassionally some sights were unwelcome like a huge live pig being carried on the back of a motorbike squealing horribly.
Around 5pm we stopped in Van village where we were staying the night. It was a house on stilts with living accomodation upstairs and the ground used for storage etc. Again facilities were similar but by this time we were all used to each other.
