Not too much to report today, it was a rest day, Last night Ian Taylor of Ian Taylor Trekking come in after taking a tour on a successful summit of Island peak at 6189m, He had time to speak to each other and make sure we were all happy with the guides etc, So far the tour has exceeded expectations by far, We had breakfast and made our way uphill to the museum and spent some time learning about the Sherpa's and life in past times, A short film presentation finished the morning off and then we were free to do what we wanted, I went into town, did some shopping and grabbed a very welcome cappuccino, Now we are rested and acclimatized we will hit the trail tomorrow and make our way close to 13000 feet, The landscape should change quickly from the greenery we currently have to the rugged rocky landscape that you expect to see in the Himalayas

Welcome to Walking For A Cure. My name is David Courtenay, I am a Brit living in North Carolina. I have four bothers with Cancer of which two have lost the battle. In 2014 I walked nearly 600 miles across Spain on the Camino De Santiago and raised nearly $7,500 for Cancer Research. In October 2016 I will be trekking to Mount Everest base camp, with your help we can raise more money to help fund CRI Scientists find a cure for Cancer.
Enjoying your blog and pics!!
