After about 5 days without phone or internet connectivity, we’ve re-surfaced, in Darjeeling.  Today’s climb of 8,000 feet was interesting.  Tracey and Richard needed to hop out and push up the steepest bits while Miles navigated the switchbacks like a pro.  When we reached the washed out road, a half dozen road workers picked up the entire rig and carried it safely to the other side. Now nestled in the middle of Nepal, Tibet, Butan & Bangladesh, it feels like we’ve left India entireley.  Tomorrow we start the descent and head to Assam.
