Today we had to wake up extremely early, my least favorite thing to do! Our tour guide (Hari) said that today was going to be the hardest day of all! We climbed/walked 1,100 meters up, and 740 meters down! We took 8 hours in all to reach our next lodge, which was located behind a humongous mountain! Which meant we had to climb up the mountain! EXHAUSTING! It was 4:30 pm when we arrived. Our lodge was called "Trekkers Inn".
We had 2 porters who each carried 2 bags! The total weight of 2 bags were 30 kg! The porters carried the bags using their head, attached to a rope! Plus the porters went the same way as us, and were there before us! With all that weight! Hari said that our track tomorrow was going to be half the distance as today! I'm seriously exhausted, and can't move a singly muscle anymore! All I can think about is sleep, sleep,sleep!

Something you should know!
Our porters were 22,35 years old, and our tour guide started as a porter at the age of 14. He only went to school for 1 year, and speaks fluent English. He did this all on his own!!! He's a real role model!

I can imagine how tiring that would be, and you weren't even carrying anything. Your are correct about the guide and porters being great role models for those of us who complain about little things.
I really like the way you've set these entries up, with the little 'Something You Should Know' segment. Clever.
