Snickers birthday binge (the only easily available western food) |

Day 51, 56km: (by Amy)
Chris was pleased to wake up in a tent on his birthday and to amazing
mountain vistas. He even had chocolate spread in his porridge as a
birthday treat. The night had been much warmer and clear: the stars were
fantastic. We set off with sunshine and a blue sky above. We ate our
lunch with views of snowy Haba mountain. Chris had a massive snickers
binge as there was no cake to be found.
Then we sailed downhill for ages
until we got to Tiger leaping gorge. The river was flowing the opposite
way to that expected from the map so it looks like the next couple of
days will be uphill not down. For now we are installed in a guesthouse
with stunning views of the gorge. Tomorrow we are going to set of to
hike the length of it.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Chris.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely great blog. The trip sounds amazing. Part of me is slightly jealous however as I look like a Belisha beacon after cycling up the 0.5km hill on the way home, the bulk of me (pun intended) is quite happy living my life vicariously through yours!
Big love.

Thank you to all for birthday wishes! I went downhill all day and can't say I didn't do a little skid at the end. But it was a conservative one - rubber is precious when there are still 1000's of miles to cover.
