Dragon's Breath

By 1800hrs mist started snaking in from the valley below...or is it from the mountains above... I don't know but it was getting colder.

We were all snuck up in our little tents getting into something nice and warm. There was a slight drizzle which was rather pleasant after the days walk. Lucky for us it did not get any heavier. Mist flowed in from the path where we had come from earlier like a snake following us into camp. Before long it had covered our whole campsite. At 1406m we were breathing in the dragon's breath which is very invigorating i must say and after dinner we slept under the shroud of the dragon's breath. Blanketed and protected for the night.
We woke up into an atmosphere same as that we slept in and by 1000hrs when we left camp the mist is still lingering about promising a cool journey ahead to Kem Botak our next destination.
Meow beckons to hurry up as he is feeling cold. His heating system must have shut down when he was a kid. Always feeling cold at the slightest breeze even. Here i am on day 3 with my backpack still as heavy as i started off with and the same pair of short, tights and shirt...unwashed and smelling good in this cold weather. Meow is no different.
Lesson learned...One doesn't stink at this temperature at 1406m, even in clothes unchanged or washed for 3 days. Unbelievable? Go ahead...Scratch and sniff.
