I didn’t know how cold it was, but I could see my breath when I woke up this morning in Namche Bazar. However, the sky was clear and my guide and I went up to the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Centre first, where we could see the Everest and the flanking mountains Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam etc. We went up to the Everest View Hotel to get a better view, and my thigh muscles already were aching. Luckily we decided not to continue to the Khumjung villages as a strong hail fell down in the afternoon. So I published the news here at justhalfaworldaway.com. After the hail stopped, I walked around in Namche Bazar and brought some stuff to the laundry (yes, there’s a quick laundry service here in the Himalayas). In the evening I had my first hot shower since I left Kathmandu, but I didn’t felt that well and went to bed early again.
