On our last trekking day we finally managed to leave, as planned, at 7:30 in the morning. We had Spanish omelette with Tibetan bread and hot lemon, the same as on the way up.
We had a nice walk through the little villages dotted on our way. The birds were singing and the sun started to warm and lighten up the valley gradually. We admired the gardens and the green terraces some people had. We passed a place with a chorten (like a little stupa) and many prayer wheels and Many stones (the carved ones). We saw children walking to school and, later, tourists starting their treks. The weather must have been nice in Kathmandu too, we thought, because the planes arrived early.
Towards Chaurikarka, where the trail started to climb towards Lukla, the weather became warm and we felt quite tired and thirsty, as we run out of water. As soon as we arrived in Lukla we stopped at the first little shop to drink water. And surprise! We met the Italian couple that Eugen met at Dole. They had to come down by helicopter because Alfredo had bronchitis and was not feeling well.
After we promised to keep in touch with them Eugen rushed to the airport hoping to see some airplanes taking off. Eddie and I, we went to our lodge, Khumbu resort, as we felt tired. We had a nice Roesti for lunch.
Later that evening we took a nice walk to the airport and then through the village.
The evening was a bit noisy at the lodge: an Australian group were celebrating their last night with the guides and porters.
We went to bed with the hope of flying to Kathmandu the next day.
