Here in Namache Bazar

Sat in Namche Bazar after 10 days trekking from Jiri to arrive here. Rest day today after sfuffing my face with donoughts and buffalo steak with chips last night. For the factual peeps 7080m of ascent to get here and 5470m of descent. It rained for 3 days and everything was wet but has kept the planes from arriving at Lukla so it's pretty quiet here. Saw a goat have his head chopped off before breakfast a few days ago but our appetites are huge so still ate all my breakfast you'll be pleased to know. Have come up through lush tropical lowlands and now feel we are entering into the mountains proper as we can see high snowy peaks. Feels like stage 1 of this bit of the trip has been successful and my knees appear to stll be working so heres hoping. Greg
