So after a late breakfast we set off to find Shakti Monastery. What we didn't realize is there's very limited transport there and that it's in the middle of know where – so it took us a while to get there.
We sat for more than an hour in the monastery listening to the monk's chanting and then headed off to look around.

After a few hours, and some food, we tried to head back to town – but were told the last bus would be in an hour. I was already running late, and so we headed off on foot just in case we could make it to the main road before the bus came.

Luckily after 30 minutes a man gave us a lift the rest of the way to the main road – from which it was another 45 minutes on the bus back into town.
While I was able to call home – Joshua's party was in full swing and after a quick chat with a few people we headed out for dinner.
