Namaste all - which means hello. climbed from Tengboche to Pangboche today which was a relatively flat section. A lot of tourists in this section and a lot coming down from EBC. Feeling the best I have since leaving ktm, so I think things r looking well for the trek into EBC, all fingers r crossed.

My sherpa - chhombu is with me we r getting to know each other well, even thou I cannot speak nepalese well, we r having fun finding out how to communicate. a lot of finger/hand movement.

we only walked on the trail today for 2 hrs, I wanted to go higher but chhombu is under instructions only short treks till we meet rest of group.

they should be passing over the cho laa pass tomorrow and in 2 days time we will meet them in lobuche. looking forward to seeing them and curious if any others r sick or all healthy.

I hope all is well at home. to u all - ur msgs r great read- giving me a lot of energy to keep going and nail this peak....haha.

coz I have a lot of time to think, I have adopted pete murray song - better days as my official song while I’m here in nepal. and in footy terms I’m playing for the away team and we r currently bout half way thru the season, (ebc and island r the finals), so I’m just taking it one dat at a time, building 4 the finals!.
