As Eddie had a very good night sleep and was feeling much better, we decided that Eddie and I shall stay at the "Namche resort" (in fact the lodge is called Tashi Delek, Welcome in the local Sherpa language). Eugen continued to walk with our guide Ratna towards the Gokyo lakes, hopefully he'll have some nice weather for pictures all the way up.
About 2 hours ago (4pm local time) we received a phone call from him with the news that they reached Dole (about 4090m) around an hour before and he was feeling very well. The weather was cloudy on the way up and now it started to snow a little bit.
Eddie had a good rest day, listening to music, reading the news, etc. on the phone.
As the weather was a bit cloudy and windy in Namche Bazaar, we spent most of the day in the lodge's dining room (it's a bit warmer than in our room). I mostly watched life going by in Namche: porters going up and down the trails, one helicopter and a little plane taking off nearby, daily activities in the lodge, talking to other people in the lodge, exchanging travel experiences.
Hopefully the sun will shine on us tomorrow: I plan to walk to the panorama spot where we took our picture 14 years ago with the snow-capped mountains in the background.
