retrace: 12.04.2010 annapurna circuit trek-day 3

day three:  syange-chyamche-tal

first half of the day was/felt easy.  the day before has some climbs, so the up-down of the rolling path was enjoyable.  a climb here, a descent there, nothing unmanageable.  over and under a bridge with views of the river, as well as an impressive waterfall.




 
 

 

but after the lunch, the difficult began, and i did tire.  the climbs became more of a degree, broken only by steep knee-jarring descents.  my body began to conceive and reject the notion of 18 or so more days of the same.  thoughts of climbing ebc became less of possibility, and as the elevation increased, i wondered how that would affect the output of my body, not to mention the cold. 





but a nice chat, a great meal of a very tasty dahl bhat and warm clothes chased away the negatives and has put me in better spirits.  ebc here i come?
