Epilog / Epilogue

Kakih 15 let kasneje je bila znanka na trekingu okoli gorovja Annapurna, torej na isti poti, kakor smo jo obdelali mi. Najtežje ji je bilo, ker je morala vsak dan hiteti, da je čimprej končala etapo in še dovolj zgodaj prispela do prenočišča, dokler je bilo še kaj tople vode za tuširanje, kasneje je tople vode namreč zmanjkalo. Kako, prosim? Topla voda? Tuširanje? Mi smo se umivali in prali cunje kar v ledeno mrzli reki.

Some 15 years later a colleague told me about her recent Annapurna circuit trek, the same one we took. The most difficult part for her was that she had to hurry to finish each day's hiking early enough so that when she arrived at her hotel there was still some hot water left in the showers. Excuse me? Hot water? Showers? We washed ourselves and our clothes in the freezing cold river.
