The first night

Night time in the village is beautiful - dark so dark no lights at all, the sky soooo full of stars.

Some of us were lucky and even saw shooting stars :-)

We decided to light a lantern and send our wishes to the sky...

Dinner was fantastic - dal soup, rice, chapatti and cabbage never tasted better!!

Sleeping on the floor was fun with a cool breeze blowing through...though there were enough sounds to keep us awake for some time (neighbours snoring, insects buzzing and something scurrying around on the roof!!!)

Going to the toilet was a challenge - out the door, down the ladder, around the building and in the loo - all in pitch darkness with just a torch :-)  A bit spooky I tell you. So visits to the loo in the night were always in two's (atleast for me). During the day, things were much easier and one could enjoy the view of the valley whilst on the throne :-)
