Everest Base Camp - We Made It!


Bec and Dee - smiling all the way!?!?!

From Shigatse, we took the Friendship Highway a few kilometers, then turned off onto a dirt road! For the next four hours we were treated to twisting turns, passing big trucks on hair pin curves, being passed by tour buses, making our way over two mountain passes - all on washboard roads- before final arriving at base camp. Sorry for the lack of pictures along the way - too rough of a ride to take pics from the van.


They went that-a-way!
