Stayed Camp 2. 6 June - down to ABCRather tired, but met Gavin at DCXP ABC. Our ABC has gone. We have summit coughs. 7 June - ABC to ZhangmuLong trek down then long drive thru heinous roadwork's. Only trucks and Landcruisers can get thru. arrive late, dirty doss in Zhangmu. Our clothes stink but we slept in them. 8 June - across the border to KathmanduHeinous chaos. Unbelievable. What a mission. But we eat pizza in Fire and Ice, finally.
