   Pretty close to Lukla
A cute little bridge
   This bridge is between Lukla and Pakhding. On the way back the bridge was completely out.
Pretty fancy Lodges
   Some of the lodges look really great from the outside and aren't really that bad on the inside. They're not as fancy as they might look though.. Between Lukla and Pakhding.
Uhm..
   Don't know.
Prem & Jds again

   We waited a long time for our animals to show up. The animals had the tents and some of the gear for the kitchen.
Getting loaded in Pakhding
   Poor animals... Those bags are heavy!
The River valley between Pakhding and Namche
   Sure is pretty, but the water is always white...
