Sometimes, things aren’t picture-perfect, and social media doesn’t always show the hard parts. Today is better than yesterday, but we’re still not fully recovered. So, for laughs, here’s a snapshot of me feeling rough!
Today was meant to be a hiking day, but we decided to rest instead, bringing forward a later rest day. Thankfully, the antibiotics are working, and we even managed to eat some plain chapati and rice. Hydration is essential, and thanks to our @watertogo bottles, we’re staying on top of it.
Though still exhausted and achy, and while the “toilet” tent remains horrendous despite a refresh, we’re grateful the boys are in great shape! They’ve been full of energy, reading on their @amazonkindle and playing endless rounds of @uno. The Kindles have been a lifesaver—Ben’s practically devouring a book every two days!
We have no choice but to move on tomorrow if we want to reach the final base camps. Today’s focus: sleep, rest, and hydrating. Fingers crossed for a smoother day tomorrow.
