9:30 am. Here at Lhasa Food Corner, at the top end of Vashisht; hot chocolate and lemon and sugar pancake ordered. This place is full of Brits - feels very fake to me. Reinhold Messner lookalikes; students straight out of Covent Garden in London, do not understand why they are all here - for that matter, I don't understand why I am here. Feel crap again - did not sleep at all well last night - perhaps because of the coffee I had at yesterday's breakfast. My fault. Stubbon cough, overriding lack of energy, headache, fed up etc. I'd be happy as anything if I had a crag to climb on. Miss climbing with ole partner.
8:50 pm. Feel quite ill - I had to abanodon that breakfast I was describing above! Sudden nausea and had to leave some rupees on the table and go back to the hotel, before any food arrived. Went to bed. Felt better around noon and went down to Manali with T and Carolyn - probably should have stayed in bed. But did have a couple of banana lassis to drink. Back here around 2 pm and slept for the remainder of the day. Managed to eat an omlette just now: had to eat something else my antimalarials would make me sick, I am quite sure. Have decided to stay here for a week until the others are back down from the mountains; I want to try and make sure I am well enough for Delhi.
