Everest day 4






Namaste

Well we made it to the big town of Namche Bazar, last stop of civilization in the mountains.

Some people have asked me what kind of medication I've required for this trip. In many parts of India I needed to take pills to avoid catching malaria. At this point in the mountains I was on a large variety of things - I had caught a travellers tummy bug and food poisoning at the same time (in India) and the doc in Kathmandu put me on 3 different meds to clear it up. At this point in the trip I was also starting the meds to avoid altitude sickness.

Enjoy!
