December 4th or the ninjas of determination

I woke up and immediately felt bad. I had a stomach bug. Perfect timing. I could not eat, morning tea was a challenge. When we started walking I realized I was too weak. Every step was a challenge. Especially because my body needed the food and water. I will share you the details but it was not pretty. Many times my group passed me and I stayed a little behind. Our John asked me frequently if I was going to make it. I always said yes even though I had my doubts. I was the ninja of determination as one of our porters would say. It was a struggle. But I fought myself up there in the fog, it got colder and colder and we had less and less hight to overcome. But the last meters almost killed me. After a sign to the summit already made me believe I was almost there a gravel track started. And gravel uphill- not fun. 

Finally we reached. I could not believe it. 

We made It!
