I had a much better sleep last night compared to the previous one & seemed to get the hang of the sleeping bag (fortunately). I think my body had also adapted a little to the high altitude too as I fell asleep much easier than the previous night. I was awake for a while when Indrajit got up to go to the bathroom, then I took a while to go back to sleep. I'm not sure if it was the pro-biotics doing their thing, the high altitude and reduce air pressure, o...

I didn't sleep very well the previous night. I think the altitude was affecting me a little as I felt like I constantly needed to breathe deeply to get enough oxygen into my lungs, similar to what I often experience on planes), plus the 1cm foam mattress isn't particularly comfortable and is really hard! I just couldn't seem to figure out how to get into the sleeping bag properly or what position to lie in to be comfortable. I hoped the next night would be bet...

Slept in until 7 am as I was really enjoying my last night in luxury! I then packed up the final few things I needed & went downstairs for some another great Indian breakfast.

The internet was back working again this morning so I did a few more things & edited some more...

The sun streaming into my room woke me up again at 5 am... way too early ... and try as I might, I couldn't go back to sleep again. So I pulled out my laptop & started researching, booking things, and doing some banking before June 30. After a while, Hasneet messaged to say she'd just woken up. Apparently, they continued drinking at their hotel until about 5 am! Crazy young people! I got up, had some breakfast then headed over to see them. They ...
