Day 3

Munjo 2800 to Namche 3450m
we arose at 6am for breakfast of porridge and scrambled eggs. After a small warm up routine we set off around 7:30.
After a short walk we entered the Sagarmatha National Park. once in the Park we made our way down to the base of gorge
where the River Dubh Koshi runs.From here we trekked along the valley until we reached the point where the Koshi meets
the River Bhote Koshi, passing over the river on three scary bridges in the process. once ofer the third bridge we made
our way up towards Namche.Once again the views during the trek to Namche have been stunning. We also had our first view
of Everest today albeit a tiny peak. We arrived in Namche for a traditional Nepalese lunch of vegatable curry rice and dahl. After lunch we
went off to the Irish pub to watch the  Final. At 4 o'clock we took a short walk up to the top of Namche to visit the
Monestary where recieved a blessing from the Monk which on on on.....but at least now we should have a safe adventure!!
Tomorrow is an acclimatisation day in Namche where we will stay for a further night.
