We awoke at 6.30am for an early breakfast before walking to Gorakshep (5100m). We left our sleeping bags and other non-essentials at the guesthouse before starting walking to Everest base camp (5365m). We finally arrived around 1pm, and saw some tents of groups planning to climb to the summit. Very pleased to get there, and took lots of photos!

Due to another bad headache on the way back I just had a tomato soup for dinner after returning to Gorakshep around 3pm. However some of the Canadians were still crawling in about 8pm, but which time it was dark and bitterly cold.
