12. Rest day at Gokyo

Last night , James and I made the decision to spend another night at Gokyo , the view of the lake is just stunning and our lodge is so comfortable . We appreciate the consequence is having a very long three days at the end of the trek , but we think it will be worth it .
This morning, we walked most of the way up Gokyo Ri , in the hope to see a beautiful view of the Gokyo lakes , unfortunately about 100 metres down from the summit , the cloud really started to block the view .
We sat down for a while , with a hope that the cloud will clear , but it didn't.
Bearing in mind that we have a really tough day tomorrow , we decided to go back down and typically by the time we managed to reach the bottom, the sky had cleared .
We ordered an early lunch and chilled for a bit . We linked up with some friends for the rest of the afternoon and had a look around Gokyo , sitting in a cosy bakery for a couple of hours .
James and I sorted our rooms out , ready for our early start tomorrow and just about to have some supper .
Breakfast at 0500 tomorrow , so we are walking for 0530 . The last pass to go , whooo !!Lue lisää
