That same afternoon we arrived in Gilgit. At night, hardly 48 hours in Pakistan, I got very sick: Abdominal cramps, fever, body fluids leaving from several sides at almost the same time. Expedition had hardly started and already I got very ill. The next day all team-members had a relaxing day visiting a polo-match (traditional sport there!), while I had to stay in bed capable of nothing else than staying in my bed.
