Day 19. April, 28. BC (5200 m). The day of rest
Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the planned days of rest in BC after the trekking to ABC. We spend the time in Internet tent, reading news about the awful events in Nepal and the Himalayas. The situation with the expedition continuation is not clear - there are a lot of discrepant rumours. The leaders of other expeditions come to our camp to talk to Abramov, share gossips, bring and drink up alcoholic drinks. The mood in general is rather depressed.
Except for rumors and gossip - there is no information at all. There were no official Chinese statements of authorized persons until now. The leaders of the expeditions wait for a big sports boss from Lhasa to arrive. Maybe after his arrival something will be clarified. Maybe not. When exactly will he come - is not known too.
Abramov gives a lot of interviews to the Russian mass media by skype right from the BC, Pelsh - by phone, Bogomolov - by e-mail. Except for these sources, there are tons of distorted and just fabricated informational messages. What is important - no one from the Russian trekkers, travellers and mountaineers, who were in Nepal at the time of the catastrophe, was hurt... This is important - there were a lot of friends in different places, and thanks God that everybody is alive!
For the past days we received a lot of letters from comrades and friends from different countries, who worry about the expedition, about my and Sergey's lives and well-being; it is very nice. I've tried to reply to everybody, but Internet doesn't work stable here, so many of my answers are short or standartized.
At the present time all we are left for is to sit, enjoy the nature and await developments.
