Mon 25th Jan. Day 2 to Namche, 3500mts

25/1/2016

Sitting in the bakery at Namche. So yesterday we commence our walk down from Luka to Phakding for lunch. No sooner do we arrive and David has put his down jacket and every other piece of clothing on complaining about how cold it is.....this is day 1.!! Boy oh boy. He rubbed some tri-actin into himself last night and is much better today (anyone who has trekked with us will know what Tri-actin is. Anyone who doesn't know what it is, sign up to treknepalwithme and come visit this magic place).

Blair AND David fart a lot..! I have my very own Terence and Phillip show happening around me. Anyone who watches Southpark will know who I'm talking about. I'm just wondering how we can get a "sound" blog happening. They will come unstuck though, it's only a matter of time. Golden rule number 1 on the mountain is to never fart unless you bum is hovering above a toilet......the mountains will always win..!

David and I are having a hard time understanding Blair's accent. We have banned him from saying number "6" and he has to say the number between 5 and 7. How do you get "iggs" out of eggs. He also gets into a lodge and announces "cool, a wistern toilet"! I'm putting aside a couple of minutes each day during tea stops and doing speech with him. "Blair, say "e" "e" "e".  Blair mentions Des a lot but it comes out as "Dis".

Jorsale was our lunch spot today at 10am. Yes lunch at 10 as there is no other village between Jorsale and the the climb up to Namche.


David has a pulse monitor on his iPhone and decided to check all our pulses climbing up the Namche hill. David's pulse was 112, Blair's was 129, mine was 116 and our guide Prakash's was 49. He obviously does it a bit more than we do.

As we are sitting in the bakery it is lightly snowing outside. We will do our acclimatisation walk tomorrow.

Sue, are you still keeping your New Years resolution (not too laugh at farts)? Also as there are no spider webs you can walk in front and avoid associated by products.

Not a spider or web in sight. I think it's too cold.

So in one photo, I see David in his down jacket, yet in another photo, I see Blair in shorts....!! Who do I view to get a reference for climate?
Sue, we have all had a good laugh at the latest update. Hopefully a clear day tomorrow for a view of Everest.
Any earthquake damage in Namche?
Looking forward to your next update.

David is slowly adjusting. Put it this way Blair looks more out of place in shorts than what David does in his down jacket.
