Namche Bazaar
Nye, rejuvenated by a coffee at the German Bakery, striding strongly, if slightly bandy leggedly, back up the hill to our lodge! Most of the climbing equipment sold in Namche, is not "genuine", indeed some of it is made in the back rooms of the shops that sell it. The popular brand North Face, is usually pronounced 'North Fake' here! But while Windstopper jackets can cost $200 elsewhere, the one I bought here cost me $34, and worked every bit as well!
