Everest Base Camp Adventure – Part 6
People were starting to feel a bit ill this morning and if we would have brought our Lonely Planet trekking book (which we forgot in Kathmandu and kicked ourselves about it everyday) we would have realized that we should have taken an extra day to acclimate inDingboche . Lucky for us, we felt strong. But other groups were complaining of headaches and dizziness that morning. Everyone pushed through though and we didn’t think anything of it. We didn’t question our guide, we followed him blindly and were happy to see that we were on the same schedule as our new friends.
Everest Base Camp Adventure – Part 5
It is Freezing! Morning came too quickly today at Tengboche. We had our first fitful nights sleep on our Mount Everest Base Camp Adventure. The temperature easily dipped down to -10 and our plywood walls didn’t offer a lot of comfort. For some reason neither of us can make it through the night without a trip or two to the toilet when we are at altitude. We realized that we should have paid the 250 Rupees for a hot shower at Namche Bazaar on day 3 because now the weather is so cold there is no way we can face a bucket bath in a freezing shed. Looks like it is going to be a new record for Dave and I. 9 Days without a shower.
