We were very lucky on Monday to be able to fly up to Lukla due to the poor visibility as there have been no flights for a couple of days! After a safe flight we walked for a few hours and stayed at a very nice tea house in Phatding. Yesterday we carried on up to a small village called Josalaidh and stayed here due to a tiered member of the group this is the last village before the steep 600m climb up to Namche. Today was a 7.30 start to avoid the heat of the day, we saw our first glimps of Everest which was very exciting. The faster members of our group arrived at Namche Bazarre by 10.30 am giving them plenty of time to drink ginger tea and begin our acclimatisation process, as we are now at 3445m and blessed with good weather. We will stay here for two nights to acclimatise and take in a couple of short walks above the village. More news tomorrow.
