Trips

4th Day of our Trek to Everest Base Camp


Left tea house at 8.30 for a long hard slog up and over mountains and across rivers which are mainly frozen. Today started very cold and had about 5 layers of clothes on but within an hour I was down to 2 as the day was extremely hot and I was struggling to keep up. We stopped by an army check point for lunch (tomato soup) and rested for an hour in preparation for a very hard climb up to a monastery and the monks accommodation. A lot of Trekkers stayed there but we headed down through the woods to a place called Rhododendron Lodge tea in Debuche 3820 meters, very new place but again unfinished as no running water just an hose pipe outside. I had a lay down while Sally went for a walk around the little village. I had pizza for dinner, a bit of a pattern forming here with my food, then we sat around the wood burning stove until we went to bed. The inside toilet is now blocked and we could only go for a wee in it.
