Team spirits pretty low, everyone is tired and the diet just doesn't give much if any protein. Very little meat available and even when it is it's tough, fat or mainly bones. Can't find any nuts or fruit to help suppliment our diet.
One of the team has heat stroke so the trek today was a real struggle. As soon as we arrived in Borang they went to bed and hopefully they feel better in the morning.
Decision made to use the extra rest day tomorrow, not what we planned but decision made to protect the team.
Vai Tika today. Time to worship your brother as part of the Tihar (Diwali) festival. Group of men arrived outside and sang until the hostel owner gave them money. The first payment of 600R wasn't enough so the singing continued until the payment increased!
After Dal Bhat we had Roti cooked in ghee with added sugar and cut into a twist. Very good dipped in sweet ginger tea.
Sick team member not really improving so the early decision tp have a rest day was a good one.
