Sunday 29 October 2006 We kept waking up during the night wondering what time it was and if it was time to get up – going to bed at 21.00 is very early for us so our body clocks were totally off. We did fall asleep straight away though. The wind howled...

Friday 11 November 2005 Our wake up call was at 04:25 this morning and we left in the jeep (with three blankets this time) just after 05:00. Although this morning was cold (5°C) we were much warmer than yesterday – I was now wearing seven layers of clothing and...

Thursday 10 November 2005 The phone rang at 04:15 this morning – our wake up call! Oh it was early! And freezing too! We were very glad of the heater and the hot water bottles last night. Unfortunately, the cold still got to us and we didn’t sleep as well...
