Leave it all in the city … follow me down into the wilderness ~~
今天是整個旅程中最重要的一天，我們將會去到5,364M的South base camp (North base camp在西藏)。
高海拔的清晨下陽光特別耀眼，天藍得一片雲也沒有，我們就在明媚陽光下離開Lobuche。今天上午去Gorakshep的距離只得5KM，比任何一天走的路少，但這5KM絕不簡單，因為我們是在海拔五千米上升二百多米，所走的每一步都比低海拔辛苦。加上由Lobuche開始沿著Khumbu glacier行，路上已沒有任何植物，只得石頭和塵土，偶爾會看到一些小水洼，上面被冰塊蓋住。

We were surrounded by snowy mountains along the trail
Looks like a dry river bed
Most trekkers took a brief stop here
行走在這種路段很費力，我們都停下很多次作短暫休息，也可欣賞另一種風景。之前每天都看到Ama Dablam，現在已被其他高山取代了- Pumori, Nuptse. Lhotse。約三個小時後終於到達Gorakshep，它是上Everest Base Camp最後的一個休息站。我們先放下行李到tea house，吃午餐和休息一下，中午十二點出發去base camp。
