Well, we came over the Cho La pass in beautiful weather to stunning views all round. The glacier was a bit tricky for the porters but with extra poles and Chris (one of the team) cutting a few steps and a bit of load-slidding we all managed to get safely over to drop back into the Khumbu valley by the afternoon. It was bizzare to be back on the main trail with it's many, many trekkers. We were actually going in the opposite direction to most of them as they headed to basecamp as the culmination of their trek; we will be camping below another high pass and doing a little peak called Pokalde on the way for extra acclimatization. Today is a lovely rest day, spent here in the internet cafe and in the bakery for some rather lovely cakes to make a nice change from the predominantly egg-based diet that we have been enjoying up to now. And then there's the yak burgers at the lodge.......mmmmmmm. Our last lodge; it's all tent's from tomorrow on in.

Hey Jen. I'm enjoying the blog, well done making the effort with it - keep the posts coming (also reading Tim's blog). The google maps work well though the photos don't appear to be able to be enlarged(?). Keep focused on the mantra HPPH. All the best to you, Tim and the team. Cheers N.
