The post card I sent to myself from Laban Rata, 2.5 km from the peak of Mount Kinabalu :
I suppose that I wrote what was on my mind at that time, bearing in mind that :
* I had just hiked for 7 hours
* The shower was ice cold. I was one of the few who braved it - and I didn't scream
* I was beginning to feel the effects of altitude sickness
* I was facing the prospect of climbing to the peak in 8 hours time - it was the great unknown
AND
* I was wondering what I was doing there instead of being at a nice beach resort somewhere
