Day three was spent around Namche, the same village where we stayed last night. Engaged in a short acclimation hike this morning...spending the rest of the afternoon cruising the Namche weekly bazar. Below is a overlook of Namche...not too big but it is the center of trade in the remote Kumbu valley, complete with inflated prices for the transient Trekkers and Everest climbers.
One of the most interesting, and unexpected experiences is the trail/road we have been following. It is paved almost entirely with stones and reminds of what the famous Inca Trail must have been like. It is a rudimentary trail on which all supplies of the region passes. This is the typical mode of transportation, other than the yaks.
