The day arrives bright and clear. The trouble with being woken up at 7 in the morning with your only bowl of washing water for the day, is that you can't afford to lie in bed, because the water goes cold in 5 minutes!
It was like the 1960s at home, before central heating; it had been so cold that night, that the inside of the window pane was frozen over
On the way, we stop off at the Everest View Hotel (about 11 am) for hot chocolate.

| I can't stop taking photos today the scenery is breathtaking We started our walk to the Sagamartha National Park Headquarters, where we get our first glimpse of Everest and a few other of the high peaks. |
 |
| It's getting hot already, down to my shirt! |
 |
| People either looking up or down in amazement, how far have we come - how far to go |
 |
| The miles are just dropping away |
 |
| Everest ahead |
 |
| Our lodge in Khumjung |
We have (another) cup of tea and then we go off to visit the school, monastry and hospital |
| The Entrance to Khumjung School, built by Sir Edmund Hillary |
   Having enjoyed our walk around the town, we drop back down to our lodge for our evening meal and bed at 8.30 (it's tiring doing all this walking!) |
