A week in the Himalayas - A summary

I'm finally in Nepal after a long transit and months of training. As i expected, the training wasnt enough... As soon as I arrived to Lukla which is at around 9500 ft, a set of stairs and I was breathing hard! The next couple of days were going to challenge my mind and body. Mind because as I kept looking up to the final destinations, my brain kept trying to fool me to give up. Physically... Well I'm not he fittest guy in the group and my heart keep beating super hard in any small hill. At day one I was called fat by our guide :( lol
It's ok... Well deserved. Now I regret for not going to the gym every day that last week.
Our first stop was Phakding. Beautiful day in the mountains. I was feeling pretty good and the first tea house looks extremely nice and well over my expectations. The menu items at these lodges (in general and not only in Phakding) are so extensive! that you would never imagine you will get Pizza or steak at the top of the world! but you could! and believe me after a 5 hr hike, anything taste delicious.
