The team taking a rest on the way back to Khumjung

 For those of you that are following the trek carefully, today’s itinerary may look a bit odd as, yesterday, I reported that the team trekked from Lobuche to Shomare.  Well, I am blaming the confusion on the sometimes crackly sat phone connection!  Cherie did call in today (perhaps at Shomare for lunch) but the call was short and the connection not-so-hot so I am not exactly certain where they camped last night but Cherie did report all is well and that tonight they were planning on camping in Khumjung.

Kunde Hillary Hospital...read the sign!

 The Sir Edmund Hillary School is located in Khumjung and they will also visit the Khunde Hillary Hospital.

The local children make the trek even more worthwhile
