ENG : This last two days have been exhausting but full of meetings. This morning, Louis-Philippe wanted to grant him a late sleep by waking up at 4 a.m (instead of 3a.m since the begining). When he woke up to leave, the gate of the garden where he slept had been closed. As he had closed his door with keys inside, he was blocked in the courtyard. So he finally slept one hour more in a open room before the gate reopened and starting his walk again...
The typical day starts around 4a.m with a walk during the short time where the weather is still fresh. Then he takes several short breaks and he can thus start a short tasting with locals. Ascent of passes are hard. At the end of the day, generous inhabitants invite him to have a tea and sometimes offers him hospitality.
Chocolate is distributed along the road as foreseen. Yesterday, LouPhi, stoped in the middle of a small village to improvise a tasting. The first two minutes he managed to maintain some order in front of the table where was the chocolate, then...everybody rushed on chocolate!
People are very curious to see someone walking on this part of the road usually not used by trekkers and its favorises beautiful meetings and many discussions.
No more than 30 km before Jiri and the start for the roof of the world.
The rest of the team has to face with local constaints of tranport (strikes, and so on) but the moral Is Still High.
FRA : past two days have been exhausting but incredibly rich encounters.
This morning, Louis-Philippe wanted to agree a long lie, getting up at 4 am (instead of the usual 3h since the start!). When he rose to leave, the gate of the garden in which he slept was locked. As he closed the door with the keys inside, he found himself stuck in the yard. He finally slept an extra hour in an open room before getting to open the gate and hit the road again ...
typical day begins around 4 am with a walk in the cool interrupted by short pauses that give rise to a small tasting with the population. The climbs are particularly difficult mountain passes. By late afternoon, residents, generous offer to come and have tea and sometimes offer hospitality.
Chocolate is distributed as planned along the route. Yesterday LouPhi stops in the middle of a village to improvise a tasting. The first two minutes, he managed to maintain a semblance of order to the table or was the chocolate ... then everyone rushed on chocolate!
The population is very curious to see someone walking on that part of the road is usually neglected, which encourages trekkers beautiful meetings and numerous exchanges.
More than thirty kilometers to Jiri and departure to the roof of the world ...
The rest of the team is somewhat subject to transmission constraints (strikes, etc.) but the country's morale remains high.
