Spankin Pangkin

Lunch time at Gunung Pangkin 1463m. Meow and i have not had rice or Maggi for any of our lunches. It was just too much of a hassle to bring out our gas stove and cook using whatever precious little water we had.

Lunch for us was mainly Pita and peanut butter but today we were both sick of Pita already. We have been having it for breakfast and lunch most days. I was sick to death of it. Thankfully i had Snicker bars, Cadbury's and dried fruits. What a treat and energizing too. Wonderful thing about trekking is you get to eat all the chocolates you want and no worries of it staying in your belly. It's an excellent energy bar and yummy too. No boring power bars for me.

Beautiful pinkies...suspiciously like the Cherry Blossom of Japan no? The peachy one's are from Kem Pangkin.

Another tine wild orchid in bloom. Half and hour later we were at Kem Pangkin and met up with the rest of the gang. They move fast and today we did pretty well considering we manage to catch them at one of the many pit stops. They were having a good time obviously resting more than 5min. Meow and i only did 5min stop overs so that we can catch up. If you look far to the back of Black tareking his Alicafe you would be able to see the guide and porter cooking Maggi. Bugger...that smells like a gourmet here and now.

We were generous. We stopped for 20mins at this pit stop. Schumacher would have been furious...shitezen! We were at 1243m and we are suppose to reach something like 300m plus by days end. Did i mention it was going to be a long day?
