Three Passes Trek Day 21

Three Passes Trek Day 21 - November 18 - Gokyo to Sacred Lakes (return). Another beautiful day at Gokyo. The weather gods have smiled upon us again and given us 21 days of glorious sunshine so far. Today we trekked out from Gokyo past Fourth Lake and most of the way to Fifth Lake. It was a nice 3 hour walk up mainly gentle slopes to keep our legs primed for tomorrow's crossing of Renjo La, the final of the three passes. Now sitting behind a deceptively warming wall of glass and gazing out at the lake, thinking about a swim, but deciding against it, having spotted ice blocks floating around the edges of the water.
