Yesterday we had an “extra” day to rest because of, let’s say, “logistics issues”. 😱 After having a wonderful rest day, being with the kids, and swimming after that, in the evening, we received the news that the sherpas couldn't find enough yaks for our journey, because they were grazing in the wild. We need the yaks to transport all our luggage and food to the mountains, so the sherpas had to go again to search for more yaks. Therefore, we stayed at school base camp at 3200m altitude for one more day waiting for them, and used that time to rest, recover, and train for high-altitude acclimatization.
We did a hike to train for acclimatization, we started at 2200 meters and ended at 3750 meters, gaining 450 meters in altitude. This was good training for our bodies to gradually adjust to the 4000-meter altitude, which is important as the next base camp will be at that altitude.🗻
We also did some preparation, planning the next days and informing ourselves of the weather conditions.
From now on, we are not going to have an internet connection, we will start the journey to higher altitudes, closer to our goal. 💪
And never forget, out of comfort zone magic can happen!🌟
