walking 3:30:00 [1] 5.0 mi (42:00 / mi)

walking 4:00:00 [1] 5.0 mi (48:00 / mi)
Xi'an: A kind of dreich day to explore Xi'an with Carol. To cold and damp to rent bikes and cycle around the city wall, so Began with the Bell Tower then wandered aimlessly around the Muslim quarter market and down to South gate and calligraphy street. Quite the feast for the eyeballs at multiple levels. The mosque was a surprise with multiple gateways leading up to it.

Hiking 2:10:00 [4] 6.0 km (21:40 / km)
6.00 am: Tibet - Walk from camp up to Everest Base Camp 5200m (17,064 ft) to watch the sunrise on Everest. At the altitude the air is thin and with the guide, the group of us on the Tibet tour had a wonderful and slow and steady walk up to EBC. A half moon meant there was e mouth light not to really need a head torch except on some rocky parts. The 8 of us were the only people there to watch the sunrise. On the Tibetan side you see the whole mountain. The sight is so breathtaking in all meanings of the word. After about an hour there we walked back to the Tibetan tent where we had all stayed (50 min).
While the sunrise was special, the sunset the night before was spectacular. Something one will never forget. Once it was totally dark, the stars in the sky were crystal clear as was the Milky Way. Sheer magic.

Hiking 3:00:00 [3] 6.0 km (30:00 / km)
11.00am: Carol and I had a private tour along a portion of the Great Wall of China. A treat of a lifetime! Had a phenomenal guide in Robert who explained all the multitude of defensive techniques used. Although cloudy, words can't describe what an amazing piece of construction and the views, vistas, changes in elevation experienced. A day to remember.
