Most of the shops in town were shut and we discovered this was because the communist party had called a strike. To work was at your own risk as dissenters shops were usually stoned. It was quite peaceful down by the lake side but apparently there was quite a bit of trouble in the town. And all of this is just because of upcoming local elections.
We decided today that Oz should go and do a 5-day trek in Ghorepani and I should continue with my recovery. If we wait until I'm completely better it may be a long wait. Trips to the toilet were still becoming less frequent so I risked a lasagne in the evening. Oh to be well again.
