Monday was spent getting up to Namche Bazaar, situated approximately at 10,000 feet. It was certainly harder work than the first day. Ike was still suffering from GI abdominal spasms. On Sunday he had looked absolutely awful & had shuffled up the trail. On Sunday he was 'half dead'; Monday he was 'half alive'!
There were several crossings over metal bridges strung across the river gorges. Everyone and everything (donkeys, yaks) have to go across. There is a distinct gentle oscillation to the bridge as you cross...
As we approached Namche Bazaar we came across a clearing in the trees through which we had our first glimpse of Mt Everest offing the distance. The peak has the distinctive wisp of cloud trailing from the peak.
