Rum & coke night. Out with the gang post dinner and a well deserved shower. Knee pretty shot. Excruciating day. Grimaced through most of it – cannot think I would have been good company for anyone. It rained for a fair bit too. Added to the gloomy feeling and my worry about the upcoming Annapurna leg. Over compensating with the right leg has meant that I have a slight shin splint and prone to cramping on the thigh and legs.
Am reminded this trip is meant to be contemplative – just cannot seem to get around to it. Getting through a new experience with a gang of 11 interesting people is demanding in a good way. Its tough to stay aloof. I need to set the knee straight to enjoy the experience I believe. Doing yoga in the morning with Stina to try and set it back on track.
Turning in and glad to have emailed home earlier this evening. Could not get through to her but Happy Birthday Sheila Aunty – wish you happy travels all through the year and beyond!
The Tengboche monastery was nice and the walk around it great. After that the descent took us through a rhododendron forest – quite pretty.
