... as it was difficult to engage with anyone so I sat next to the fire and read my book! I went up to bed pretty early but then I knew we were planning a 4.15am alarm call to climb Poon Hill to see the sunrise. Now picture this&#8230;&#8230;the walls are simply bits of plywood so you can hear every sound. My room was sandwiched between the toilet and a very large German lady!

Es sens dubte una experiencia increible, pero en surto poc ansios de tornar a repetirl-la.<br><br> ******************<br><br>After so many days trekking, I have my energy decimated to a point that I don't feel like exploring Pokhara and its surroundings, but to chill out for one day so I end up signing up for a tandem paragliding flight that ...

... general. GB shared his buff curry and whisky with us while we were waiting for our meals to be served. The 10days flew by and it was great to have a GB with us as some other guides didn't seem to give the same level of service.<br>The views from ABC were amazing, we saw the sun set and rise with clear skies. We met people from all over the world, including Chepstow. The whole thing was great.<br>We got back to Pokhara and invited GB and his wife for ...

You can have a giggle at my attempts to set the self timer for photos!!<br><br>I was actually feeling quite pleased ...

... to give up after several hours then the next town you can see in the distance and manage to get enough energy to make it to your next destination. <br>The lady that ran our teahouse was amazing she loved me could speak english and treated me like her son she said i reminded her of him! <br>The room was dark and cold though no electricity so u sit with a head lamp on and read or chill in the kitchen with the cooks and play cards or dominoes. another great view ...

... to go back to Gorak Shep or lower in order to sleep better (that happens a lot and they send climbers to Pheriche or Gorak Shep so they can sleep well, get some good rest and breathe thicker air before going back to Base Camp) but Eric Johnson, the other doctor was there. He welcomed us in his tent, served us hot tea and chatted with us for a couple of hours. He is an ER doctor back in the US and has been volunteering at Base Camp for 5 years I believe.
