It's 2:16 am; camping; woken by bad feeling in my gut: need loo pretty quickly, but it's raining outside the tent; I'm a bit shivery too - definitely not well. Taken two Imodium - hope that these allow me to get through to the morning - or at least until the rain eases up. Definitely do not fancy going out in this weather, and in the dark.
8:18 am. Woken by Hot Rock voices, still raining: sounds like real English rain. Nuisance since I do not actually have a coat with me up here. I'll stay in my tent awhile to see if it eases up at all...then head on down to Karimabad and the bus. Hopefully my revoluted guts not too unstable. We will see.
4:15 pm. Feel quite ill indeed. No energy at all. Headache. Very arduous walk down to Karimabad - despite it being down hill all the way; on and on and on. Went a bit wrong in the village itself and ended up having to go back uphill. Raining most of the way down too. Pretty miserable. Lianna has secured us another cheap and crap hotel - to be fair the room is okay if basic - but the loo - as seems normal in Pakistan - is disgusting: it's beyond me why they cannot connect the thing to the water supply - I mean there is a water supply there. Just needs a short length of pipe.
5:00 pm. Despite feeling really ill, found a cafe which sells a rather nice Hunza walnut cake, had this with a hot chocolate. Met Geoff in the cafe. Goodness knows if eating walnut cake is a good idea or not - but just felt like it.
