Woke early and tried to go for a walk - couldn’t go far as I thought I may never find the house again!! This was lucky as the mist was hiding a thunderstorm which hit 5 minutes after I arrived back. Again I was lucky as getting up early meant I did not get wet lying in bed as I would have done if I had still been in it.

To day’s walk has been spectacular as the rain filled some of the paddy fields and also cleared away some of the mist - at least for a time. This morning we saw the mountain opposite the house for a short time after the rain, we then watched as the mist just rolled back in.

Tonight’s homestay is simpler than last night and I am back on the floor but we have beer and wifi, so I can’t ask for anything more. I writing this in a thunderstorm which we hope will clear all the mist away leaving it all clear for tomorrow!!
