Update

Hi again,
We've been in Hunza for 10 days now. I managed to get a couple of
flights in before the before the bad weather arrived. The
conditions, however, were 'flyable' not exceptional. Then I got
sick, and recovered a couple of days ago. Yesterday we hired a jeep
for the day and took a tour around Passu, an amazing place just
east of here. The photos of the bridge are from that day.
Today was the first really amazing paragliding experience. I donned
all the high altitude gear, and managed a 115km triangle
( http://www.xcontest.org/world/en/pilots/detail:dimbo ). Wow, what a
place!! I got up to 5700m, and that isn't even high for here.
It seems like some really nice weather has arrived. If tomorrow
looks good, we will try to fly to Nanga Parbat!

Bye.


Demian.
