Today was very strenuous and challenging. As we ascend up the mountain the increase in altitude begins to really work on our bodies. The head colds we brought with us on the trek is an additional complication. Luckily, we have acclimated well. We moved very slowly to Lobuche. At 16,000 ft we are now higher than we have ever been before. The weather is so perfect. We are literally trekking in short sleeves. We put on light jackets when the sun hides behinds the clouds for a few moments. The landscapes are enormous. I have nothing to compare. Everything is beyond description.
Hi Guys, I have been watching your progress with interest, as Mr. Mackin aka Big Daddy told me what you are doing. I was there 28 years ago, it its bringing back some lovely memories. So thank you for sharing. I want to take my 12 year old daughter there sometime soon 🙂
I still remember the best toilet view in the world. I think it was at Dingboche looking across at Ama Dablam, one of the most beautiful mountains in the world (imho) Please send my wished to it from England.
