Got up early to watch the sunrise and take some pictures, but man was it cold waiting for the sun to come up!
We went off on a day hike up the Chukkung valley towards Island Peak. Great weather with crystal clear blue skies, and not a cloud in sight. I think this is the first day we have seen it so clear (just look at how blue the sky is in the pictures). The walk was spectacular and not all that hard despite the fact that we were up to 4700m. Eventually we got a full on close up of Lotse and the whole Lotse wall. We had lunch just staring at the mountains on all sides and then found some big rocks to lie down on and view some more. There were some great views of Lotse as well as the back side of Ama Dablam. The best views of Island peak though were from further away. Outside of Kala Pattar and Gokyo the best views of the trek.
