Thursday 9th April. We fare not much better in the morning. Malcolm tries to rest and I go and inform our family we are I'll and cannot have breakfast. They give me some munya tea. Which is a sort of fresh mint tea. They tell me to go back to our room. I feel very bad as we are supposed to have special food. But we feel just too ill. After awhile I go out even though I feel awful and follow the family as they move and stake their sheep in the hillside for the ...

Wednesday 8th April We have to leave by 8 to catch our lake tour. We leave our bags on our rooms as we will be returning to them and only take what we need for 1 night. I am feeling better and grab some breakfast, but find I am only able to eat a little before being full.

There is a car and two guides. He deliver...

Ppl live along the way and have fields and homes. It's pretty much a one way r...
