Day Four

9th April 2008

Paribesh has switched his electronic identities, acquiring a Mero Mobile (the talk is that Mero Mobile is the ideal connection on the trekking route) and switching onto his gmail address. Talking with him at 1030 this morning, the team was just setting off from Namche.

The latest is that while all team members suffered from some degree of mild altitude sickness, Birendra continues to have slight headaches and will have to stay back in Namche and go upto Thame by tomorrow and wait for the team to come back from Dig Tsho. The team is putting in extra effort to make up for the day lost with the cancelled flight from Kathmandu. They expect to reach Thame around 3 p.m.
