Wednesday started badly due to altitude sickness, Paul with a bad headache and myself headache and vomiting. This isn't unusual when you first reach such an altitude but it was bad enough for Dendi to take us to the local medical centre where the doctor checked us out, prescribed Diamox for mountain sickness, and pronounced us fine to continue with the trek. This was very reassuring and we immediately started to feel a bit better, my vision of having to be rescued by helicopter receded!
We found an Internet cafe in Namche which served great cappuccinos, bought a couple of gifts from local traders, and nearly got mown down by a loose horse cantering down a steep narrow cobbled street.
