Altitude sickness

One of our group had to be taken to hospital. It was quite serious as Fiona was in a coma. After having to move to a better hospital (organised by the travel insurance company) , she was diagnosed as suffering from altitude sickness. She was put on a drip due to de hydration, and given oxygen - her blood count was down to 47 when the normal reading is 80 to 90.

Subsequently, she has made a full recovery but will stay on until next Saturday.

This was a lesson in working together as a group. Also the British Embassy was very helpful.
