The End

My rough day didn’t end as we got to Base Camp. My Sherpa was in such a pain and needed hospital treatment quickly. This wouldn’t have been a problem if there wasn’t for our driver, and how he refused to take him where he needed. I had to argue to make him realize he needed help. More problems seemed to lie ahead. Like the beginning of the expedition, we had problems crossing the border into Tibet. This time we had some problems as well. Bird flu is still a main concern in China, and everyone had to have their temperature checked to enter into Nepal. Of course my sick Sherpa didn’t pass the test, and for that reason caused major panic among the boarder control.
After some time, we made it to Katmandu and to the hospital. The doctor could confirm, stomach infection was the issue, and the treatment I had given was 100% correct.
Now, a few days later he is doing great and its good knowing he’s in good hands. I will now stay in Katmandu until May 19th, continuing working and analyzing my project. All the tests will then be sent to University College London and NTNU for further examination.
About a month have past since I left Katmandu. Since then my daily routines have been limited and I am therefore glad that I now can take a hot shower, trim my beard and charge my batteries for new challenges for years to come.

- Goodbye for now

P.S. I have also lost a few kilos.
