Not without my thermals

The last 24 hours have brought record low temperatures to Israel and several people in the desert areas have died of hyperthermia in the last 24 hours.

It pays to be a Kiwi and know how to wrap up warm. Thanks to Kathmandu thermals, I am really snug and the locals are amazed that I'm not turning blue.

Tomorrow I hit the road for my trek around the country, so the hot water bottle and thermals are packed. Fortunately, I go to the coast first, which is a few degrees warmer. I expect see snow in the City of Gold before I leave.
