Day 6. Upper Pisang-Bhraga. One thing I love about the mountain is that every morning you can re-breakfast with a good conscience. One gets up early and in pain, Coffee goes blind, cereal, muesly, porridge, fruit, sweet, Tibetan bread with honey and things like that ... And halfway through the day, to and re-fill to top.

And on top of the pants you notes are becoming increasingly loose and that others do not criticize you for wolverine, but you are welcome to recover energy. That's OK, but has far to go.

This sixth round, in full ascension, We re-breakfast in Ghyaru, the top of a steep peak that comes in the middle Himalayan ranges and is 3.720 meters, exactly two more than the top of Spain, Teide, having 3.718. One imagines looking at the Atlantic from so high and, for a time, not mind changed for a dip and have a cold at the beach mahou. Then again look to your left, Eye and reviews snowy Annapurna massifs 2, el Annapurna, 4, Gangapurna y el el Annapurna 3, and remember that it is one of the sacred places of the universe.

Today's stage has been to disrupt the cervical, of both head to rotate side to side to admire the magnificence of the mountains. After we entered Ghyaru crown, prolonged decline in, in a sort of giant canyon surrounded by white and yaks, the mythical white ruminants of these lands, always accompanied by the perennial river Marsyangdi, grasslands dotted with pine trees, rhododendrons and oaks and tiny villages where one wonders what will live here. If someone had told me that in this valley is the birthplace of magical fairies and dragons, have believed.

Has been, this Friday, a fun day. Definitely, Firefighters have taken us. They are hilarious. They joke with all the girls that we, I give flowers, have made friends around the world… We are best known as Fernando Alonso. One, Gustavo, makes spectacular photos, exactly what you're seeing in my chronicles of these days. Other, Alberto, studies music, surf and fix old bikes. Mari specializes in canyoning. Today we had a problem rediscover Quico, Sara y Javi, that deviated from the route yesterday to climb to a viewpoint of almost 5.000 meters. Many fabric. Quico has become sick. Do not know if it's bronchitis or altitude sickness, but you have chest pain and high fever. Thankfully not touch up tomorrow, acclimatization day because we. We decided to stop at Bhraga, is as 20 minute walk from the main village of the area, Manang. We have not done anything special for, but because we felt contained and interesting, much quieter than Manang.
