Coming Down

Us flying back to civilisation!!!



These are porters bringing supplies up to higher villages and camps. This FedEx parcel is addressed to Base Camp Everest... we are thinking about selling this photo to the company. This is how meat is brought up the mountain, you'll find it called Yak steak on the menu, even though it clearly is Water Buffalo meat. The place it came from was at least three days walk from where Ebs took this photo..... a good reason not to eat meat.


These are Yaks horns (obviously attatched to a Yaks head) sticking out of a pack... we didn't ask anymore questions.



These are from one of the three days it took us to come down. Although they call it "coming down", we did a total of just over 60km in three days, up and down Himalayan trekking style, where the fastest way between two points is a direct line. These three days weren't easy as we were both a bit sick.
