We arrived at the Ama Dablam view lodge around noon. We got our rooms and than had drinks and lunch. By the time we reached the lodge I was quite sick. This was my first case of good old traveler’s diarrhea. My Khumbu cough was also well on the way to bronchitis. It became clear as the evening went on that tomorrow would have to be a rest day for me and Terri and Chet voted to also take a rest day.
