Day 4 and hot springs

Day 4! By this point I was starting to feel glad we opted for a 5 day trek and not longer, as the rooms seemed to be getting progressively more damp and less modern, and I wanted a well functioning fan and some cheap food. We were woken early at around 6.30 by the school group in the room next to us. Not ideal, and as we weren't having breakfast until 8.30 we were now all overtired.

We set off on the walk around 9.15. We were assured by our guide that today's walk was primarily downhill, and while that was true, we climbed too many steps for my liking, and it was actually one of the toughest days. We stopped off half way to get some lunch, before finally arriving at our tea house around 2.30 ish.

Here had the added bonus of some local hot springs, and after showering and washing our clothes we headed there with our guide at around 4. They were next to the most crazy river which had terrifying signs saying that it may break the banks and flood the hot springs. Cute! Regardless, we spent an hour or so in there which was so nice. It just feels like a bath, though with a couple of leeches which were far from ideal.

When we arrived back we had dinner, and then watched some netflix before bed.
