He's as clumsy as he is stupid - 15 October 2008

We spent last night in Phakding in one of the tea houses along the trail.  In what will unfortunately become a common occurrence, I smacked my head on the door frame on the way to the bathroom last night, and have a nice linear cut on my forehead now.

I'm just the wrong size for both China and Nepal.  I'm not big enough to be an object of curiousity, but I'm too just a little too large to not look out for door frames, ceiling beams and light fixtures.

The scenery is ridiculous here - once I've finished blogging the entire trek I'll throw up a Himalayan album, but in the meanwhile here are a couple of pics:

You can barely make out the suspension bridge in the distance - more of them (and better pictures) in the coming days.
