 Stacey with some local kids  Our Porters taking a break.....they deserve it. |  On the trail waiting for the sun to come up so we can take some layers off  Our first view of Everest. |  Slogging it out on the Namche Climb. The groups training has certainly paid off. |
Today was one of our first big climbs up to Namche Bazaar 3440mt. Hats off to Dorrie on today’s walk. A tummy bug yesterday, leaving her not able to eat but she woke this morning after a good nights sleep feeling 100%. Always hard to find the energy to push through when your not feeling well.
Stacey also went downhill not long after getting into the lodge. The importance of hydration. She’s not one to drink gallons of water but her comment was “I don’t want to feel like that again” so has been sipping away all day.
Dale woke up feeling “off colour” and hasn’t been able to eat much today either. She found the strength still to get up Namche Hill without a problem. She wishes she had days where she went off her food at home....it’s a great weight loss but maybe not good in the Himalayas.
Evan and Elaine are powering on and Matt......well Matt is well and truly blowing his daily budget of $50 on food/accommodation. He does like to eat and his bill is around the same as Dale and Stacey’s together. When he can’t decide what to eat he orders both. Still it’s better to have an appetite than not.
Here at Namche we have bakeries and cappuccinos with proper machines. I know what I’m doing after our acclimatization walk!!!
Tonight is a blue moon. An event that hasn’t happened in 152 years. We have read that Nepal will have the pleasure of witnessing this. At the moment it is clear so we are waiting for it to get dark and hopefully no cloud will come over.
