Have arrived in Leh, an amazing place . The cloudburst/mudslide has made a lot of damage to the town. The hotel is OK . The NSW gals have come and we are all together. We have had 3 hospital visits with 4 people suffering from altitude sickness. The locals have been fabulous to us from the hotel communication is easy. We are delayed a bit until everyone is fit and well. In 2 sleeps we will be crossing the highest passable highway in the world. The bikes look great and hopefully we will have a ride this afternoon. The town is a buzz of excitement today as the Dali Lama is arriving to offer prayers and hope to the flood victims. Pictures will be posted soon.
We are a group of breast cancer women and friends who travelled to India to help raise funds and awareness about breast cancer and life after cancer. We travelled on Royal Enfield motorcycles and 4 wheel drives, leaving from Leh in Ladakah Sept 2010.Our Indian friend Ritu is the founder of Highways Infinite www.highwaysbeyondcancer.org and we travelled with her, participating in workshops and breast screening.

Looking good girls after a 30 hr flight, missing you already @ pilates. Hope the altitude sickness eases off quickly for all concerned. Rest well in preparation for the next part of your wonderful trip. Thinking of you.
