Had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, which was actually a bit of a chore, as it was outside. So I went down the stairs, grabbed the bathroom key, opened the first set of doors, unbolted the outside doors, and upon opening those doors found myself face to face with a cow! It was a bit of a shock for 3 am to have a cow staring you in the face in the middle of town.
Great weather today as we headed out for our day hike. The idea of course is to climb higher and spend some time there before sleeping lower, all part of the acclimatisation process. We went up a couple of hundred metres towards Everest View. We didn't go to the expensive hotel, but instead headed a bit farther over to the right, next to a flag pole where we had spectacular views of Everest, Lotse, and Ama Dablam. We just sat there on the grass, eating biscuits and soaking it all in for an hour or so. Then it was back to the guest house for a "bucket" shower. Ah to be clean again, if only for a short while.
This picture gives a good "above" view of Namche and an idea of how steep the hills around here can be.
