Everest Day 2: Hilton, ehhmm Hill-Ten

Today, we climbed to Namche Bazar at 3550m. The total of about 1500 height meters were hard work; up and down and up up up.

I was excited to reach our next accomodation, the Hilton. Err…not… Our’s is called Hill-ten. Some striking differences; no heating so we actually had diner with down jacket, beany (Dutch: muts) and gloves.

The hike today was great actually; fantastic scenery and amazing walking bridges.
