Day 20 - Grandruk, Nepal
Trekked for seven and a half hours and climbed almost 13000 steps all uphill. The Nepalese have a lose interpretation of stairs as these are more like rocks lying on each other. It didn't come without its casualties. First Finn came down with stomach cramps and couldn't move. After a visit to the toilet and a Coke he was on the mend. Next victim was K who, like a car that's run its last mile refused to go any further. Another easier route was sought and after quickly transferring some of my contents into the kids bags, K was off guided by a porter to another location for the night. I'm proud I did this first day for the view was worth the agony. I have the making of a flu so getting caught in a stormy downpour will always help to cure it. I lie in a pretty rough mountain room typing this but lying in this bed is so, so nice. Every muscle aches and every bone is sore and I understand there's more of the same tomorrow. I think we'll need a holiday after this episode.
