It’s not all beautiful pictures and smiley faces.

After having had a bad bout of Altitude Mountain Sickness at 4800m last week (my usual altitude for AMS), I have now been fighting a cold for 3 days, challenging when the tent is -7 degrees Celsius at night!

Have dropped down to 4200m for a couple of nights and a warm tea house to recover faster. Soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, a warm fire and a bed. Luxury is back!
