Route to Namche Bazaar

We've spent the last few days trekking up to Namche Bazaar. Scenery is superb; the sherpas friendly and attentive. Our guide was born at 4000m, he tells us. So he's used to the altitude and is attentive to our lowland constitutions. No booze, no meat, slow trekking, and rest in the evening. The group is a bunch of lively Irish. There is one pretty visually challenged person in the group, but he's managing - it's a great achievement. Larks in the evening and it's joke-a-minute. Tomorrow we get a rest, but the next day the trekking gets longer and colder. Good feedback from all we cross on their way down. Weather is fantastic - sunny and clear. :-)
