Everest Base Camp Trek and Lobuche: Team Rests in Pheriche

Elevation: 13,950'
Today was officially a rest day. Our team had different definitions of what that means but all in all we are going to bed content.
If you haven’t already guessed we had breakfast at 7:30 am, drank tea and coffee until 9 then prepared to go on a short walk. Being a lazy day, three out of the five departed by 10:15 while two others stayed back to enjoy some down time in the lodge. The weather started cloudy but improved by late morning offering new views of Makalu, the world’s fifth highest mountain and the north side of Ama Dablam which we have been viewing from its more popular side on the west.
Two members of the team hiked to a small summit at 16,600' for some extra acclimatizing while the others went back to the lodge for lunch.
Overall it was a pleasant day here in Pheriche which should set us up for our next stretch to Lobuche tomorrow.
We hope all is well back home.
