Shopping For Ladakh

Departure is in less than a week and I still have some things to do.
Yesterday I went to my doctor to get the medicine I'll take along. She wrote a very long list of medication and gave me some advice how to handle the long flight or headache.
After this visit, I did some shopping with my boyfriend Mario. He also needed some stuff because he is going to the USA Selection Camp that starts on September 25th. I bought thin gloves for cold evenings, socks and a case for my new camera. I didn't buy a second battery for it because it is much cheaper on the internet. I'll take my mum's and she's gonna buy a new one.
It was very hot, so we took a break, had some ice cream and I tested my camera. There are some really cool things you can do with it!


In the evening we went swimming to cool down a bit and to train as well. The water was just as warm as the temperature outside and it was really nice to swim. Have a look at the evening ambiance I captured with my camera. Hard to believe that today it is all rainy and cold (14°C right now).




On Tuesday, my aunt, my boyfriend and me are going to do a training tour to the Glungezer Hütte to acclimate. I hope the weather will be fine.

Preparations in Progress

We are leaving in nine days and I should start getting nervous but actually I don't have time for it because I'm busy with my driving licence theory lessons. Still I'm already collecting things I want to take with me and I got a list with stuff I need to buy.

Today I got my passport back - with a nice visa in it. We sent it to the Indian embassy in Vienna after I came back from Germany last Tuesday.
The postman brought an Amazon parcel that included my new camera. Now there shouldn't be any problems with taking brilliant pictures! :)
