Acclimatization as a Birthday Gift

I would like to thank all of you who wished me for my birthday. That very day I was on the 20 km way back to the Base Camp. I didn't feel well and I also felt that the acclimatization didn't work as I hoped. Exactly this was the reason why we left Kathmandu so quickly and went straight here under the mountains. Thus in case of any problems with acclimatization we would still have time to go down and do something about it. Jiri was feeling very good so he stayed in the Advanced Base Camp. Jan went down to the BC and I aimed even lower for Tingri. So I found myself walking down some 20 km and then it was to Tingri another 120 km in a truck. Tingri is a small town lying under Everest and Cho Oyu and the two days spent there brought some stories of their own. But I would like to keep those for myself yet since I would like to write another book about my adventures and I have to save something for it.
