Day 61 Gilgit 28th Aug 09





Today is a rest day for all of us after the 2 days of hiking.. We slept till late and did nothing.

Joined the guys at the dining area for some chatting and introduced Mr Beck to the laptop. He was so amazed to see and feel our laptop.. Ramli was showing him and telling him the functions of a laptop and asked him to try typing a letter on words.. Even though he is 80+ years old his eye sight is fantastic. He could see and type a few sentences with our tiny laptop and read what he has typed.. Ramli even told him that he could download story books or even the Quran from the internet and read it on the laptop w/o having to carry the book around. Ramli showed him some verses of the Quran and even the words are so tiny he could read it really fast.


His first glance on the laptop


Ramli, Mr Beck and Carlos

You should have seen the look on his face… He is really astonished and said he also want to buy one.. Oh noo not sure if we bring him or his family any trouble..


The day pass so quickly today, we had our iftar and dinner and rested for the day to prepare for tomorrows trip to Fairy Meadows with Felix and Howard.
