Are we there yet?

We both woke up this morning with faces swollen. Look like we have been beating each other up, but its just the altitude. However, we then hiked up a very steap mountain to 12,500 to see the first sight of Everest and it was cloudy!! Oh well, we did it to help us aclimitise for tomorrows trek to the next stop. We did see a little tiny bit though.
It is so dusty here, so most of us have scarfs over our noses, but it gets everywhere. We a have a free afternoon in Namche today, which after this morning is greatly needed. You would not believe how high we are in the mountains. Once in a while the cloud clears and these enormous mountains appear out of nowhere!
I truly can not believe I made it up that mountain this morning, it shows hat you can do if you push yourself.

  1. It certainly does, chick! We are going to make sure we both reach our target next Tuesday! We're in this together and so far so good (apart from the facial swelling haha) So funny that people keep thinking we're a married couple as well. How far wrong can they get?!!! :D
