It's been a relatively smooth journey to get here. Kathmandu was big, busy and noisy but amazing too. The flight to Lukla on the small plane went smoothly with great views of the mountains including Everest. From Lukla we trekked two days to Namche, arriving on the afternoon of the 6th. Kieron and I had a steady day yesterday, walked up to the Everest View Lodge to find not view of Everest due to the cloud and rain!! Still, it was good to stretch the legs and get a little higher for a few hours.
Today dawned a little brighter but it's raining again. We're starting the trek in to base camp today which will take another 5 days and take us a little over 5000m before dropping back down to Gokyo, the last town before the mountain.
Looking forward to getting to the mountain and seeing how the route looks. This is likely the last post until we get back down, so we'll catch you in 15 / 20 days!
