Namche day 2

We awoke this morning to a knocking at our door, Shyam demanding our presence in the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast. This was a nice way to wake up after we had a night of going out for apple pie, checking on my patient, assessing the nightlife (and Rameshes involvement in it...), and an impromptu night hike. We got up dressed and were prepared to take over the kitchen at the cooks request, as the previous evening we re-hashed memories of Ron and I ordering hash browns for lunch... and lets just say it was a good thing we were at an outdoor patio... I'm sure the local wildlife enjoyed what was presented to us. Thus after that story we were asked and gladly accepted preparing everyones hash browns for breakfast. The cook was happy we joined him and showed him the western style of things. Everything was served shortly after seven and enjoyed by all, not a potato was left in sight. Breakfast was made even sweeter by brandied grape jelly appearing out of no where.
After breakfast a contingent of the group geared up and headed back into the hills to visit Khumjung. Khumjung is situated in a valley that yes, we had to go uphill both ways!! Thats right, uphill there and back. We can finally use the saying honestly. Tea was had by all in Kumjung in a small quaint tea house. We also passed a nice field...err airstrip on our way back to Namche. We feasted on lunch upon our return followed by Siesta's. The rest of our day has been filled with equipment and personal hygiene maintenance along with resting up for tomorrows hike back to Phakding.

Looking forward to touring London;
