Day 6 - first view of Everest and Ama Dablam

Loads better today which was lucky as we had a 7 hour trek to Pangboche ahead. The highlight appeared half an hour after leaving Namche: our first view of Mount Everest, although far in the distance it looked spectacular, as did Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and the Nuptse Ridge which also dominated the skyline. Continued on to Pangboche (3900 metres) to quite a basic lodge where I was glad of a hot water bottle in my sleeping bag!
In the photos Ama Dablam looks bigger because it's nearer, Everest is the peak to the left of Paul's head with spindrift (looks like cloud) blowing off the summit. Ama Dablam is the one on the right, and in the other photo with the prayer flags.
These are just the photos from my phone, will put better photos up when I can.
Thinking about home a bit now as we've been away for a week, missing the girls!!
