Taking advantage of the sunny weather, we sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. We took several pictures of the lodge owner's daughter being doted upon and generally enjoying life along with us.
Dad today took it upon himself to help out with computer troubles that the lodge owner was experiencing. He did this because they helped quite a bit while we were trying to get back from Tengboche with medicines sent by porters, enquiring with the doctor before we got there, etc. I guess he just can't really get away from it, no matter how remote the place he goes! It started with cleaning out the keyboard, which led to a full-scale reconstruction of some of the power supply wires in the computer, and seemingly ending right now with copying an image of said computer to the lodge owner's sister's computer.
Back to serious business, the general plan of action now is that Dad will go back to ascending via a different path, to Gokyo Ri, with the guide. Hopefully the weather will be nice and that he will not suffer more than the path demands. If things do go badly, there are alternative plans even to that, depending on how bad it is. But again, Mum and I wish him all the best on his journey, which will start tomorrow and end in about 6 - 7 days.
