4000m to 3450m (-550m)
8.95km
The low altitude rains seemed to have come back with occasional views of Ama Dablam as a treat. Last night we slept like babies, we all completely passed out! Oxygen levels are still only 60% but already I can feel the difference. Leaving Pangboche the weather was glorious. We had a sunny stop in Tengboche where the bakery was now open, consuming bad-ass coffee and a tasty cheese roll. Something worth mentioning (and he might kill me for this) is Dave thinking he was going to release some high altitude flatulence (HAF) that turned out to be solid. An emergency pant pit-stop in the mists was undertaken professionally then we were on the way again, with endless ribbing and laughter from me and Helen. In Namche we again stayed in the same lodge and room (Valley view) as we did before! (who says we're habitual??)
In the evening we went to the cinema bar and fittingly watched "Everest". It has some amazing visuals but is ruined by an oh-so-common U.S.A. cheese-fest overload - it's painful at times.
