12/01/2014 Woke up and the legs felt surprisingly ok. The warm-down must have worked. But the knees felt a bit sore. In terms of a quiet day there was no rest bite. There were two routes to take at one point and of course we took the high one which lasted for ever. Up and up we climbed through a forest which wrapped around the mountain. Lawrence was constantly ahead so I was constantly on my own. Plodding on indefinitely for a next village which never seem ...

11/01/2014 This was the biggest and hardest day of the trek for me. Honestly killed me. After a big bowl of porridge and copious amounts of sugar thrown in for good measure we left the guesthouse at 7:20am.

06/01/2014 Me and Lawrence met up from breky, got a puri and a bowl of curry veg and a chai before exploring the birthplace of Budha. We discovered you needed to pay, so instead we walked around the perimeter instead for free. Lawrence as per tried to blag free or cheaper enterance by claiming he was in the SAARC countries, despite claiming he was from Hong Kong which isn't a member at all. Clocked.
