Back in Namche

As you all know from Heather's updates over the last week, our attempt on Island Peak was not successful. We are now safely back in Namche Bazaar soaking up the warmer weather (maximum of about 10 degrees) and lower altitude. We are here for another day yet so I will give a blow-by-blow account of how tough Island Peak was, how we suffered camping a base camp in -15 degree temperatures and how good our base camp cook was sometime tomorrow! Although we did not achieve our ultimate goal of summitting the peak, we have still had a fantastic time hiking in this region.

The positive point of being out of mobile/internet coverage for the last week is that I have been able to avoid the latest cricket scores!
