Nepal 2008 - Everest: Namche to Base Camp

November 2, 2008 Followed the trail out of Namche, heading northwest. Not as many tourists on the trail as I expected to see.

For lunch I paid 300 rupees for an apple streudal at the Tengboche bakery. The bakery had a wide variety of pies and cakes, as well as espresso coffee drinks.

Stayed the night at Ama Dablam lodge in Pangboche. Also there was a Swedish couple, a Boston woman recovering from bronchitis, and 2 Basque men there for dinner.
