Day 2 of the climb

Day 2 and we are partaking in what is meant to be the easiest day, but easy is a bit of a false promise! It’s recommended that you climb around 300m a day to acclimatise to the altitude and today we have done just under 1000m. I seem to be ok with altitude so, fingers crossed! However, the dust is really bad and coats your face and skin. Blow your nose and the “debris” is black. It’s impossible to stay clean even for a minute but somehow the guides and porters manage it.

Mountaineering seems to have systems for everything. Hydration system (water bottle) Sleeping system (sleeping bag etc) yet my Body system seems to be struggling! Though the veritable feast that’s made for us everyday soon boosts my energy!

Hakuna matata people, til next time!!
