Hello everyone. I am back with another blog post for you today about our second day up to the Everest base camp. This day according to Ganesh, was one of three hard days up the mountain, with the last two being the other two days. Our hike today was six hours because we walked less yesterday and we wanted to be on schedule. Being said though today’s hike was no walk in the park. Four of the six hours were uphill on an uneven and rocky terrain while we were constantly cut by Yaks, horses and more people. We also saw plenty of dogs in our walk and they were all very cute! When we stopped for breakfast, I had potatoes and a very cute dog walked into the restaurant! I named him Kenneth, but let’s start at the beginning of my day. If you read my Annapurna posts, then you know how my morning was as it was the exact same thing. I had a very unappetizing pancake for my morning meal and made a vow not to eat pastries for breakfast because they are unappetizing and don’t fill me up. We started walking in the cold and climbed a very long metal bridge across a river. This bridge also had people and Yaks crossing it, so it was a challenge to get across. Anyways, after the crossing of the bridge, we walked for a long time and reached Namche Bizarre, enter where we would sleep later tonight and spend our rest day tomorrow(yes, we finally have another rest day!!😆). We ate at a small cafe and I had a muffin that was much more appetizing than the pancake earlier. Afterwords, we saw a movie!!!! It was a movie called Everest made in 2014 about an expedition group going up Everest, but then a storm hit and killed most of them… yeah, very motivational😓(*gulp). It is actually a good film and after that was done, I had a nice chicken burger and went to sleep, concluding our second day up to Everest base camp.
Yaks crossing the bridge! Paranormal YAKtivity!!!!
