Today we decided to head to Ama Dablam base camp, a good acclimatisation walk with an increase of 600m. The day presented itself with blue skies and perfect views over Everest/Lhotse/ Pomori/Ama Dablam and many more spectacular peaks. Seeing them in the flesh was amazing and quite emotional. The challenge ahead for the first time was visible.
4 hours trekking up and enjoying the sun on our backs. A very pleasant morning. We returned to the lodge for lunch and caught up with Henry.
We had our blessing today by Lama Geshe, praying for good fortune and luck in the mountains, an amazing experience. From now on he will pray for a safe trip on Everest.
Few coffees and a chocolate muffin wrapped up the afternoon and hung out with Ang Guru, a Sherpa that has summited Everest 3 times, but now runs a lodge. Now off to shoot some pool with him before getting back to the lodge for dinner.
Tomorrow we head for Dingboche.
