Fellowship of the Trek Day 5

Namche Bazaar to Jhumjung (3780m/5hours)12401ft
You will Climb to Syanboche, then trek to two serene Sherpa villages, Khumjung and Khude (3890m) where Sir Edmund Hillary established his first hospital and Khumjung (3790m) where he established a school, both in the early sixties. The Khumjung Gompa possess what is supposed to be a Yeti Skull. (Welcome to the Himalayas!)


P.S. We forced Mo to have her hair corn-rowed for this little adventure, to hopefully make things a little less complicated for her. So, as any good mother would do, I thought I'd throw in a couple of embarrassing photos of the process.
We hired a lady from the Congo, she started at 6:30pm and finished up at 11:30pm. That night Mo did not have a very good sense of humour. But on Day 2 was grateful she had it done.
Just in case your wondering why her hair is so dark; the lady had no idea Mo was white (guess we didn't think to mention that over the phone) and so she only brought black hair extentions.

Why did she need extensions?

How will she undo these?

As you can tell, I have never been on a cruise before.

You look absolutely daaling Mo!

I am enjoying the trek with you, except I am not burning calories.

To make the braids last for a long time they always braid in fake hair for more durability and strength. Makes the braids last for months vs days, (not that I'm a pro, I just learned all this from our experience with Mo). :)
