Thursday: As I was on base camp, I got the chance to go into town with Cheyenne to choose our meals for the next couple of days, which was quite good fun, especially Mike M's rapping in the car. When we arrived back, we were sent away again, but when I was finally allowed in I was handed a crown and was surprised to see the whole camp decorated with balloons and bunting for my birthday!
After lunch we even got some cake, which pleased everyone at camp. I was given a birthday card, a rhino mug and a Tex bar too, which I was very pleased with, but hope I don't break! The vegetable curry for my birthday dinner was also thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was epic! (according to Anne).
It was also everyone's first opportunity to wash properly, due to the filling up of our water supplies, so that put everyone in a great mood and got rid of their dust lines!
