Did some shopping today, picked up a few bits and bobs for trekking like my drugs for AMS, which you can get freely from the pharmacy here, but UK doctors won't give you. That's even though it can save your life if the AMS becomes HAPE or HACE. There's various theories about the other diseases up in the hills, some books say it's so high up that a lot of bacteria that would normally make you sick don't really survive, but I've got the immodium, some Bisto and a cork. One of them will work, or a combination.
Lots of places will be closed for Dasani on Sat on Sun, the big festival, think we're out of town by then though, don't want to be struggling to find food and beer.
Was going for a stroll round Thamel but found an MTB place, so got a bike for $10 for the day. No face mask though, which resulted in some fairly spontaneous vomiting after following a garbage lorry for a while. I'm eating loads, but I'm definitely losing weight despite pumping in the calories like there's no tomorrow, not really sure how I'm going to combat that. There's only so much pizza and burritos a man can eat, and we'll be on Dhal Bhaat for three weeks I guess.
Went through the itinerary on the map, there's a few hairy bits marked 'dangerous in snow', which is what I'm here for, pretty stoked about that, but we're a few weeks early for the deep stuff.
