• A new day and I was feeling the best I had felt since I fell sick
• By 10:30 I had my breakfast sandwiches and we headed for Kalpa
• In between when the van stopped for a break, I just started towards Kalpa, and at one point I looked around there was no sight of van, any other vehicles, it was just me and the mountains, it was serene, peaceful.
• At around 2 we stopped for lunch and I had some momos
• in the late afternoon we were in Kalpa
