Today we will have breakfast at 8 and leave at 8:30. It will be 6 hour day of trekking. When I woke up at 5:45 it was 23 degrees. No central heating. Every once in awhile while I was sleeping I thought I heard a furnace start up. Nope. Incessantly barking dogs were Ike me up early today. I went to sleep at 8:30
I have hand warmers that I throw into my sleeping bag while I am getting ready and it really helps. I throw my long underwear in to warm them up too. And my sleeping socks. By the middle of the night I am too warm. I sleep in smart wool long underwear and socks. I keep forgetting a beanie to keep my head warm. Apparently this helps with decreasing Altitude sickness.
In the morning, I just put my clothes for the day, in my still warm sleeping bag and then decided, why not me too. I was freezing!
This guest house is pretty new, they were affected by that terrible earthquake a few year ago so they rebuilt. I think they forgot the sink ! No where to brush your teeth! Don’t worry, I did anyway.
And only a squatter for the toilet. Difficult with sore legs. Aiming is fun!
My room does not have a lock from the inside, broken. A man walked in yesterday looking for Nimmi. So, last night I placed my duffle between the door and bed and felt safe enough.
Chatted with a young solo female traveler last night. She’s from UK but lives in Australia. She spent six months in South America never sleeping in a bed and cried when she finally did . She is climbing a mountain today snd will start medical school soon. Her guide is Nimmis boyfriend.
