7th April 2008 - Dawa Steven Sherpa

We had set off at 8:30 in the morning - and it's been a long slug throughout the day. I accompanied Charles (expedition member) for the majority of the time and since both of us had heavy packs we took our time reaching Namche. Finally we were in Namche. It's been more than a decade since I last slept over in Namche. The day's trekking was tough and long but as we had enough stops for lunch and rest it didn't really take a toll on us.

Tonight, we are staying at hotel Camp de Base - it's clean and warm - all that one can ask for. My body is still adjusting to the "load-carrying-mode" and so a good rest is much appreciated. Nothing much else happening here...
