We have all arrived into Namche @3,500mts. We walked most of the day under an overcast sky, so no view of Everest half way up the Namche climb.
The climb, being our first of several on this trek was difficult as usual. The order of the afternoon was slow with several stops.
Ok, some observations on some of the team members after trek day2.
-Glenn likes to dabble. From offering his labour on roadside construction, to swapping roles with the porters and then helping out in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
-Steve is a practical joker. Claims to have itching powder in his bag and is just working out who to use it on. Now given he is the big tough firey, guess who felt the cold the most last night in Tok Tok...?? Not so tough..!!
-Simi is loving her trek to date, despite the challenge of today's climb. Has the best smile in the group by far.
-Neil is always good for a classic one-liner. Enjoying Nepal but hates not having wifi..!
-Matt and Dan are also pranksters, and often target Steve. I fear they both may suffer some unwanted itching before the trek is full.
We have checked into our Namche lodge. Some of us are trying to organise a shower or bowl of hot water. Then it's off to the bakery for the last of the creature comforts (coffee and apple pie) before going higher the day after tomorrow.
Have been reading your comments out to the teams. Lots of laughs.
