SUMMARY:
At Tashigong, despite few coolies and a missing tent load, mules with syces arrived and the Nyerchen, informed by Tobgye, provided assistance and lodging, though one room was infested with bugs. Arrangements were made to proceed to Puntso-gong, where heavy rain fell through the night and following day.

1st June. Tashigong Only 6 coolies even this morning. The rest are still "coming". But we decided to go on after some talk in the dzong about coolies & the missing tent load. Very hot indeed, along the valley at only about 2500'. At the bridge we hoped again that mules might be down to meet us, which would mean that news was in about us. But nothing was there. However we had only walked 400 yards up hill when mules came trailing polite syces, after all the glum unfriendly looks we'd had in the last few days. The Nyerchen met us in the dzong. He had just heard from Tobgye about us yesterday night. So all is well, & I know we will have no more trouble in Bhutan as far as transport is concerned. We were given a nice "suite" of rooms, which looked nice & clean when we arrived, sat down on a carpet covered "boden". We both began to itch a bit soon later, & got up to find the boden running with bugs. There were dozens & all over the floor too. We killed a great many. But our tent was lost anyway so we could go nowhere else. The other room was cleaner & we put our beds there. The Nyerchen is very good to us & provides all we could possibly want. We have arranged everything for the trip down, will go on to Puntso-gong tomorrow. Still very hot.
2nd June. Puntso-gong. Heavy rain all night & rain all day
