It is a
little sad
for the trip to be coming to an end. We
descend towards Lukla, but we all remember that there is 1000 feet of
climbing
before we get there.
So we have to keep
something in reserve for that last little bit.
Whether
it was the
thicker air, the fact that we are all fitter, or what, the climb up to
Lukla
seemed to be over quickly.
We passed so
many things that we had stopped to photograph the first day. Now
they seemed commonplace: Mani walls, long
suspension bridged, trains of yaks, Chortens, painted and inscribed
rocks,
strings of prayer flags, terraced hillsides green with crops. We
saw a lot of clean, energetic trekkers
heading up the trail, going the wrong way around the Chortens, taking
lots of
pictures.
That was us three weeks
ago.
