Acclimatization day in Namche

We both woke up feeling better but still not fully restored. There was something in our room last night trying to get into the trail mix bag (no its not just hallucinations from altitude sickness). I could hear the bag crackling and once I turned the light on the noise stopped and when I drew the curtain (cautiously) to look on the ledge where we stashed some of our essentials, nothing looked touched and there was nothing there. I'm thinking it must be a mouse.

I've learned that if you getup early enough, the hot water may be turned on so you can wash your face and hands at the sink with hot water. The heat gets turned on first thing for the family to use, then gets turned off again, once they are done.

After breakfast karma suggests a quick scenic tour to the upper levels of the town (there's that up word again) and a visit into the bazaar area. We reluctantly agree, more to put him at ease that we are feeling better.

In the bazaar Rick buys a new goose down feather (80/20) jacket for the colder parts of the trek. He did bring a jacket, but these jackets are cheaper here than in Canada, are lighter and warmer than the one he brought. He also buys a warm knit cap for walking.

After dinner we head straight to our room. This tearoom offers an electrical outlet in the room so we can recharge or tech for free and surf the Internet using their Wi-Fi ( I think it was 600 rupees for 2 days).

In the middle of the night I hear scampering of claws on the floor above us. I think (by the heavy sound of it) it's a rat and not a mouse.
