Today starts off with a wake up call from a lost cow enjoying the view on its morning stroll.
Later we head to the local Sherpa museum, which is a collection of domestic implements, a slideshow and display of photographs. The entrance fee is double if you include the slideshow but no one mentions that pretty much all the slides are also in the exhibition! Still it is fun and interesting to gain a bit more understanding about the Sherpas and the region and have good view back over Namche Bazaar.
This also provides us with our first view of Ama Dablam.

After that it is back to the hotel for some rope work and to set up our
gear for the mountains.
After a few days of Nepali food, there is an undercurrent of desire for
something a bit different and we get pizza - these are pretty good and covered
with yak cheese - or to be more accurate (and probably quite important here) nak
cheese.
After lunch we head to the shops for yet another little shopping trip and
then back to the bakery for tea and cake. I am still trying to get into shape
and manage to resist the temptation.
Then it is back to the teahouse where magic tricks and chess take us through
to dinner and then off to an early bed. After our foray into international
cuisine, Nepali food makes a come back with a large Dahl bhat for supper.
