We Feel Rather Bad

A day of relaxation and resting. Yesterday I felt really miserable, but not today. Instead now my mates were having terrible headaches so there was no other way than to take some medicine and to drink as much as possible. It was in the evening when we heard animals snorting. Our yaks were here, which was the sign that we will be on the way again tomorrow. The yaks will bring our stuff to the ABC (advanced Base Camp) while we will walk on our own, with backpacks, of course. On the way to the ABC we will stay overnight in the middle camp. Every journey here begins with meeting the yaks’ herdsmen (and also this time herdswomen), which are also known as “yakmen”, and they greeted us with big smiles.
