It's cloudy in Khorog so the helicopter has been cancelled for today. Now the various admin people are trying to figure out what to do with me: take our chances tomorrow or leave today by road? Only problem with the second option is that it'll probably take two days, since it's too late now to make the trip all at once. So I guess I'd drive to Darwaz or somewhere and then the rest of the way tomorrow.
Disappointing, would have been nice for the weather to cooperate but what are you gonna do? At least next week is supposed to be sunny.
EDIT: Or maybe not, apparently the flight has not been cancelled and now we get to go wait at the airport for a while to see if it'll take off. Fingers crossed.
EDIT 2: Sike, we got to the airport, got in the heli, took off, flew for a little while, then turned around and came back. Clouds too low to fly through the mountains. Try again tomorrow. That's actually kind of nice because I'm a bit sick: persistent cough and that sucky lightheaded, mildly woozy feeling.
Also, this happened: http://www.rawa.org/temp/runews/2013/11/06/mayor-s-son-stabs-engineer-to-death.html. The murdered engineer worked for us. So sad and stupid.
