Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I’m back people with another cool blog post for you today about our fifth day up to the Everest base camp! Something to note before reading this post is that not many interesting things happened in today’s trek except for a few small things that didn’t really affect me. However, the trek today DID affect me in a good and bad way, so you have your warning in case this blog turns out to be very short. Let’s start off the day by stating that this morning was FREEZING❄😨!!! Literally, it has been the coldest morning so far and when I woke up, I actually went back inside my sleeping bag because it was so cold. When I put on my clothes one by one, they were freezing and gave me goosebumps all over the place. Eventually, I had to man up and put on my -20° clothes as I headed downstairs for an ok breakfast of omelette and toast. It wasn’t horrible to be honest, but it did make my stomach feel kind of uncomfortable because of the altitude and the fact that I just woke up and was freezing. We brushed our teeth afterwards and left for our four hour hike to our next location for the day. Today’s hike can only be described as the same as yesterday’s hike but more exhausting due to the fact that we had fewer breaks. The trek started with climbing downhill for about half of the trek. Really, it was a steep downhill in the freezing cold of the morning. On our way down, we saw a tiny black and white puppy that was trotting uphill confidently. It looked very cute and was apparently following another pair of hikers for two hours up a bridge and through the rocky terrain!! After that cute puppy, we continued downhill for hours before reaching our lunch break where I had potatoes and Ella heard a woman yelling for help in the bathroom because she was locked from the outside. Don’t ask me how or why, but it happened somehow. After that interesting experience, we crossed a bridge and hiked an even longer distant uphill until reaching the campsite called Dingboche and we were exhausted and on the brink of collapse😂🙏. We stayed there for a while and had a delicious dinner that filled me up. It was everything I loved and according to what tomorrow might look like, I am going to need to be prepared.
At dinner, I spotted this newborn baby watching this YouTube clip that was very cringy. It’s sad how phones are taking over even baby’s lives.
