Building Rome in a day

Widely accepted knowledge suggests that you rest for a bit and have some grub before continuing down. But as we plopped down in our tents for a brief, J started having some breathing problems. The incessant coughing that had been a fixture of this week we had originally attributed to the dust during all those safaris. Now it was getting worse and the hacking was producing liquids now.

Tired and irritable we now had to make our way back down to 3000m without any rest. In all it was about a 17 hour day when we finally made it to camp. Can do anything if you put your mind to it no?
Exhausted and deflated at least Jeanna's coughing had improved if that's the right word. At least there was no liquid accompanying it here at the lower elevations.
Still though it made for another sleepless night sucking on lemons in the cold and hoping for the best.
