Altitude (12/9/11)

I'm having my first experience with altitude as I write this. My driver guesses we are about 2500m. I estimate this is probably about right as the effects have just begun to take effect.

I feel the hypoxia. I'm dizzy, a little confused, and a bit tired but overall ok. I feel a little hard to breathe also, and I liken it to being in a suffy boardroom with bad jetlag.

We've stopped for lunch at a local restaurant in the mountains in the hope the clouds will move so we can see Mt Everest and the Anapurnas.
