Too tired to be clever - 22 October 2008

Lobuche has worn me out - both physically and for the diary.  Since we're both exhibiting mild symptoms of AMS, our guide doesn't want us to go up to Everest base camp and we're more than happy to agree.  Instead we head down to Pangboche.

I've picked up a nasty (productive) cough, and am basically miserable.  Scenery's still spectacular, though:

One interesting thing about today.  We had to wait for another group to cross the river above.  There was one guy out in front with a video camera and then two guys grouped together, moving really slow.  Turns out there was a blind guy going up.
