Day 9

We stayed an extra day in Dingboche which meant I was able to brave the outdoor tin shed containing the 'hot shower'. The man poured hot water into the barrel on top and I stripped off in freezing conditions in the shower. I turned on the water and waited shivering but the pipes were iced up! The man clambered over the top of the shed trying to de ice them but it was no use, I had to abandon the plan and wait an hour until the sun hit the shed....
Tomorrow we are off to Loboche, a days walk from base camp.
