We have not long arrived in Namche. Periche last night tested us all. Most of us walked in 4 - 5 layers and we were chilled to the bone arriving into Periche. Periche sits in a valley surrounded by giant peaks. So sunrise may happen at around 6am but the sun doesn’t hit the village until around 11am. By around 2.30pm the peaks on the other side of the valley have blocked the sun and the village is in shade again. We were colder at Periche than the previous night at Gorak Shep. Frozen toilets, frozen water bottles, ice crystals on the bedroom window and frozen toothpaste. Thank goodness they lit the heater for us in the morning before our departure to Namche.
So we woke to beautiful blue sky this morning, however we all had a kind of smug look on our face when we turned around and saw Everest with this beautiful black cloud blocking its summit. Is it wrong to feel this way....no way.
We arrived into Namche at around 4.30. Dale's Garmin was telling us we had done 27.5 Klms.
Dorrie has claimed Shishir as her own and at one point in time I put my hand on Shishirs shoulder saying “well done” only to hear Dorrie say “hey, hands off, he’s mine. Drew and Dair, don’t be surprised if Aunty Dorrie brings Uncle Shishir home to meet you soon.
Tomorrow is another big day and the last day of our trek. Everyone is looking forward to a hot shower in Lukla and the waiting game of whether the planes are flying or not. Lukla isn’t Lukla without flight delays
