Leh. Internet Point are close to the new store on the main road Nazir. I am a little 'uncomfortable for the truth, because I was stuck on the corner of a desk (already tiny) on a new laptop again. I'm good at letters, but I can not get their legs under the table and are on a stool without a back.
The return journey to Leh.
parties from Ibex Hotel at 6.50 on a good jeep, with an excellent driver. At 10.10 we were at the retirement. The step that is not passable in winter. At 12 we made a stop for lunch at the guest house yuldar in the plain of Rangdom. The guest house is called Zanskar Express. We ate a chapati, an omelette and some great Jo (natural yoghurt which is located in the doxa, the outdoor stalls), the last Jo.
Sankoo At 17.30 we were in the valley of the Suru, in Muslim area, where we stopped for dinner and overnight.
Broken down at 7.30 am to 9.30 exceeded the squalid and Kargil were in Mulbek to 11.10, again in a Buddhist area. The trip was going very well. After these steps Namika-la-la and Fotu to 13.30 we were at Lamayuru, where we stopped for a lunch break.
The road from Lamayuru is still close and dreadful, but from Kargil to Leh, there are some works' everywhere, the road has been widened and is almost unrecognizable, even the beautiful view of the Zanskar river, which enters in the index longer the same effect, as seen from a wider road and does not feel comfortable and that's unfortunate.
Along the way, as always, the jeeps that cross supports and the drivers exchanged information. We sensed that there was a problem, but we did not understand what had happened. My question: Is there a problem? there is a broken bridge? The response was May Be.
Along the way we started to see trucks and bus stops, drivers who are camping on the ground. Arriving at the valley Rizdong chaos. Full auto and truck stops. During the night the water has taken away a bridge and the road is interrupted. Arriva people, our driver contracted a bit 'and then off the price. They hired some guys that load shoulder in our luggage, through a steep path down the river and a makeshift bridge leads across. Here we board a minibus is very different from our beautiful jeep, but so what? We need to get to Leh. And we get there, a bit 'late, because the minibus traveling very slowly, as it is dependent on the often bumpy road for ongoing work. We arrived at 19.30, very tired but unharmed.
This year the monsoon has again crossed the Himalayas, Leh is raining heavily most nights. Here say it is normal for a water well. In Zanskar only two nights it rained, the day we had some slight shower of short duration, but cloudy days have been so many. In my opinion blows a wind so strong that the rain did not have time to fall to the ground dries out first.
