Went up to 5100 metres to aclimatise...felt alright when we began the truck up to the pass.... but once I had gotten off the truck I was so sick that I couldnt see straight. My mind would not work. I was trying to focus on how you say hello in Nepalese - Namaste - but i couldnt work it out...
I kept thinking "hgow do I spell Namaste." nutter.

Had a crazy headache and spewed in 2 bags on the truck, and more when we got back.
I was a bit better when we went down again, and up for dinner by that time.

Although i was sick, the pass was beauitful, drapped in prayer flags and nobody around but a few random monks.

The dogs are alot cuter up here compared to Kathmandu.

Been here a week now. Feels like much longer. I love it. Wish i could live here.

Went down the road for a shower this morning. Apparently the last for about 6 days. First bushcamp tonight.
