Diário 2 - Leh. Aclimatização e Israel.
Cheguei cansada e fiquei em um hotel próximo a uma floresta e mosteiro. O silêncio de Leh foi algo que me restaurou. A Índia é superestimulante. E estar nas montanhas do Himalaia em silêncio foi impactante. Morei por 1 mês em uma altitude de 2.700m, então já estava meio aclimatizada, porém mesmo assim senti os efeitos da dor de cabeça.
Tirei o dia para caminhar, observar a cidade, sentir e pesquisar onde conseguiria minha parceira de aventura.
Conheci um amigo indiano e ele me levou para jantar no vilarejo do Rei de Ladakh.
Enfim, histórias para o meu livro.
Fiquei apreensiva com o tempo e por não estar conseguindo achar minha parceira de viagem. É uma burocracia alugar automóveis devido à fronteira com a China. Passei por uns apertos, mas conto no próximo capítulo.
Diary 2 - Leh. Acclimatisation and Israel.
I arrived exhausted and stayed in a hotel close to a forest and monastery. The silence of Leh was something that truly restored me. India is overstimulating. And being in the Himalayan mountains in silence was deeply impactful. I had been living for a month at an altitude of 2,700m, so I was already somewhat acclimatised — but even so, I felt the effects of altitude headaches.

I spent the day walking, observing the city, taking it all in, and researching where I could find my adventure partner.
I met an Indian friend, and he took me for dinner in the village of the King of Ladakh.
All in all, stories for my book.
I grew anxious about time and about not being able to find my travel companion. Hiring a vehicle is quite bureaucratic due to the border with China. I went through some tough moments, but I'll tell that story in the next chapter.
