Still feeling pretty ropey today - physically tired, dehydrated and pretty
nauseous. I potter about and have a look in the shops - always in need of new
gear!
I spend a bit of time in the bakery (it is warm and has free wifi!) and it
is interesting to see people about to set off on trips up the valley as well as
those on their way out. The naively of those on their first 'expedition' and now
trying to work out what it will be like and what they will need and the false
confidence of those who have completed (presumably their first) and are now
receiving plaudits for handing out advice unaware that they have been lucky or
unlucky on their trip and that as a result their advice will be of limited use
at best to those on a different type of trip or who will face differing
conditions.
The afternoon is reading in the sun and drinking in hopefully a non-futile
attempt to rehydrate - food is still tricky but there is only one day of walking
down to Lukla which should be manageable. And then an early bed. Recovery days
aren't that interesting really.
