Campsite Day 2

We arrived into camp about 1pm, with the porters already having set everything up again. The descent down was actually more painful than the rest of the day - the big steps and sharpness made for big impact on the knees which were rather sore by the end. We set out in thick mist/fog but the lower we got the warmer it became with the sun coming out too.

We quickly sorted the tent on arrival before lunch of corn soup, beef and mashed potato, and apple pie. Sadly, on arriving at the site Ben became unwell with a headache and feeling sick - he was packed off to bed with celery and ginger tea to recover.

Tomorrow is apparently easier but longer: 16km, more steps but also four historical sites to visit. From our camp we can see the path up in the morning however...my legs can't face that right now. So instead, we rest in the tent, protected from the rain that broke out minutes after we arrived, and wait for dinner at 6.30pm.
