Trek day 4: Onwards towards Sinwa

Another sung morning (thankfully).  With the clouds away as they have been the last morning we were able to enjoy the nice view of the mountains now looming close by over head.  After breakfast we packed our stuff and headed out.  Today the journey was along mountain sides climbing down and up.  The downs don bother too much, but after taking stone steps down for 15-30 mins (or more!) it can even make the ups a bit more pleasant in my eyes.  For once many of the areas we were traveling to were with in sligt, only they were across from one side of the valley we were on, and so we would have to go down and then travel back up the other side! I also realized that he old saying "up hill both ways" must really refer to once you walk down to the bottom of a valley :p. Through the valleys we passed many terraced corn fields and little farms.  Once we rounded towards the second valley just past mid day we stopped for lunch then journeyed on a little further to chomrong which is probably the largest "city" in the area!  It is trickled down across a mountain side and it probably took a good 20-30 mins just walking down stairs from the top!  From chomrong we were able to spot sinwa, but again it was across valley, thus we still had another hour and half to do...finishing with a lovely uphill!  Going down through this area we spotted some of he grandest waterfalls!  Falling from high in the mountains, they were split into many streams which wove their way back into the grand fall!  We spotted three like this and they were a sift to behold!  After finally making it up that last hill we were quite pleased to rest at our lodge!  One funny thing from our trek today is that my neck got sunburnt, but only on the right side because of the direction we were walking :p.  After dinner the clouds seemed to have rolled in and the rain started in full force!  Glad to be inside we listened to the rain fall and even observed some lighting strikes (oddly enough the lighting was below us...can't say I've seen this while not in an airplane!). Glad that the rain missed us during the day we hopped into our sleeping bags to get some rest! Tomorrow we head north towards ABC and towards about 3000ft of elevation gain!! Tomorrow is an up day :p
