Day Four - Moir Camp to Barranco Camp

Day Four 

Last night after all the singing I was playing Robbies 'I Love My Life and then did it again this morning when delivering hot chocolate and tea to Lindsay and Ashers tent, which was so popular both Lindsay and Ashley begged me to wake them up with that song every day...... NOT!!  Anyway the Porters loved it and would sing I LOVE MY LIFE back to me while Lindsay and Ashley would roll their eyes, very funny!

I think our guides Gaston and Peter like us because we are always singing even if we don't know all the words to the songs and usually only know the chorus!!! and we are always laughing or taking the piss out of each other.

We had our oxygen levels taken this morning before we set off and at 4200m mine was 97% which is normal!  Thank you olive leaf extract, turmeric, beetroot, ginger shots and garlic tablets!!! and of course all my hard work in the gym paid off too - thank you Vince, my amazing Personal Trainer!

I was quite excited by my oxygen level as you can tell from the video!  The girls were 85% and 86% and Gaston, our guide, was 93%.  Hope my wee healthy body stays like this!  

At Lava Tower 4600m

We made it up to 4600m and had a hot lunch at Lava tower and then walked on for another 2 hours mostly down hill to Barranco camp which is 3800 I think.

Lindsay's solar charger isn't working so she can't listen to music so she is getting bored on the walks so we sang 10 green bottles, although with the altitude you end up quite out of breath whilst walking so we only made it to 7 green bottles!  To keep her brain going I had asked her to name the 7 dwarfs which took us a wee while to get all of them, why is it there is always one you can't remember!!! We then played Where Is my Button to much hilarity.

Some of the pretty plants we saw on the route

It was a really interesting landscape, and the clouds would just travel through

Don't jump Ash! 

We reached camp and got to lie down for an hour before dinner then we went to find phone signal and did some stretches.  I showed Lindsay how to do her hip stretches using a rock, and also showed her how to massage your glutes using a rock - where I learnt these things I have no idea but Lindsay took both tips on board and used them for the rest of the trek!
