Hello everyone!
I am currently in Namche Bazar... yes, I made it up the HORRIBLE, AWFUL, NIGHTMARE hike today. Barely. I didn't know if I would make it; it was exceptionally difficult. I stuck with Orla, Alex, Cathy and Rag (a guide) and we slowly baby-stepped our way to 10,800 feet, straight up. It was absolutely awful.
Tomorrow is a rest day, thank goodness. i can use it!! I have developed the "khumbu cough" which seems to be a fairly mild thing but has been known to force climbers to abort summit attempts. Not me, though. It's not that bad - only happens when I cough or laugh.
the finger is doing ok, thanks for all the notes of concern. it really doesn't even hurt.
so I get a hot shower tomorrow and i will do a bit of shopping, fun! I am thinking i will sleep in a bit if i can. been waking up so early!!
Namche is a lovely town, way up in the clouds. we are literally in a fog of clouds right now. there are yaks and chickens and cows and pony-donkey things all over the place. Exploring tomorrow!
Not sure what the connections will be going forward but will post when i can.
Love to you all!
Lindsey
