Hanging in Nangi
Location: Nangi, Nepal
Local Time: Monday, December 5, 2005 - 4:23pm
Well, I'm in Nangi for the second day in a row. What luxury!
Yesterday the power was out nearly all day, until almost dark.
We were going to Loprey today, to test the Internet connection, but the power inverter didn't work. There is no AC in Loprey, so we were going to haul some batteries there, use a power inverter to convert DC to AC so we could run the radio and laptop. (The batteries on the laptops here are toast, so they hold anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes of charge, so we needed a battery for the laptop too.)
However, the power inverter was dead, so the trip to Loprey was cancelled. Instead I copied some photos from some people was was travelling with over the last week, listened to a lecture to some visiting students from Kathmandu (half in Nepali so I only understood some of it) ate lunch, wrote emails and made this blog entry.
The porters carrying supplies from Beni finally arrived, after 2.5 days (it is only a 6-8 hour walk), so we have more supplies. There are plans for a nice dinner tonight.
Everyone take care.
