I was struck
by ambivalence this morning; while it will be good to get back home to normal
conditions again (working toilets!) I will really miss the Himalayas and the magnificent
views – despite the at times horrid toilet conditions (though one would
rightfully argue that it’s all part of the experience). I could just sit down
the entire day and take in the views.
There
was another smaller group at the lodge this morning. One of the girls refused
to use the toilets because she could see leftovers from the previous occupant.
We are talking about these amazing toilets they have here and how well they
work. Afterwards she came back down and put on lipstick. We didn’t give her
many chances in completing the EBC trek. If she only knew what she will be
facing the next couple of days…
We
walked about 3-4 hours, ascending 150 meters before arriving in Lukla, our
final stop in the trip before going back to Kathmandu. After lunch we had the
rest of the day off – which almost was a curse as there is absolutely nothing
to do in Lukla unless you are looking for copies of The North Face and Mammut
or a café to have a drink at.
Arrived back in Lukla.
Yeah, Starbucks in Lukla. Fake. I was told it wasn't bad at all, but it was still fake.
One of the more sober shots from the party. Good times!
The shots of doom.
