Sometimes you wake and realise that you feel like shit, especially when you shitting water !!! After a couple of movements, I sat for breakfast. I managed to keep it down, then went for another visit to the toilet. Once done, we grabbed the bags and set off. Because I was feeling like shit, we let Ryan, Megan and Stuart go. The track was very flat and easy going. We caught the Exodus group quite easily. Then we caught Marco and his group, which now consisted of a father and son from Barcelona and an Argentinean who was carrying 22 kilos !!! By the time we arrived in Tukuche, my stomach and ass were ready for another round. Did the business, and then walked on through the town. At the end, the only way to go was into the riverbed again. No real track, so we just walked over the river stones. Then a cliff loomed, so we climbed it. We made our way through the next village, and as we exited, it marked the end of the Buddhist territory and the start of the Hindu's. We followed the track until it was no more. All there was a kind of dirtface, so we scrambled across it. We came across a village, and my stomach and ass yelled at me to stop. So I did, visited the toilet and then, as AJ and Robin had arrived, we had some lunch. The plan was to go to Kalopani, but once there, we realised it was a bit of a nowheresville, so I visited the toilet again, and we moved on towards Ghasa. Once out of the village, the track went straight down a steep hill, across a bridge and up. The track kept going down, and an hour later, we were in Ghasa. We found the Yanks and the Pom, and grabbed a room. Also there, was a skitzo girl. First she said she was an Aussie, then she said she was German, then Iranian. Realising she was fucked, I went back to my second bedroom, the toilet !!! Dinner was good, complete with a pit at our feet which was full of red hot coals. The only way to eat dinner !!! Thank god, we had a room next to the toilet !!!
