Well the trekkers are back in Namche Bazarre after two long days. After lots of snow fall and no views our two night stay in Gorak Shep payed off as the clouds lifted on Thursday morning just for a few hours and the views were amazing of Everest, Pumore, Nupsie and the rest of the Kumbu. We took a two hour trek up to the summit of Kalapattare during the morning and the views of Everest were amazing, with the Kumbu icefall in full view and the South col as seen on the left! We could just about see the tiny tents of a Thiland Everest expedition on the glacier. Just as we left the summit the clouds rolled in once again and the mountains dissappeared. We felt like the cats that got the cream! After this we walked all the way back down to Pheriche and stayed the night there so quite a long day and today we had another 8 hour day walking from there back to Namche. The plan now is to head down to Lukla tomorrow and fly back to Kathmandu the following day weather permitting, as there is a lot of rain and low cloud again and there have been no flights for two days. Now its time for a Yak steak and a few beers! Happy days, Kathy:)
