Pheriche to Namche Bazaar, Nepal - Everest Trek Day 7 (3440-meters/11,287-feet)

We stayed at the Khumbu Lodge in Pheriche. This is the nicest place we've stayed so far. I agreed to pay half the cost, since I requested to stay here. It had a hot shower, the first since I started hiking, and I made good use of it. What a luxury. Unfortunately I caught a bug/cold or something and was hacking my brains out most of the time I was at this beautiful lodge. Famous people who have visited this area, like Jimmy Carter and Robert Redford, had stayed here.
