Day 4: guess I am really lucky that I have seen the spectacular view out of the beautiful weather in the last two days plus the half day today. 
Climbing another 500 meters today within two and half hours. The weather was still promising. I saw the mountain Kongde Ri (6187m). From there I slowly climbed up the ridge to the west of the village, following a maze of rough dirt trails through stunted pine forest, clusters of boulders and yak pastures. Eventually reached the tiny airstrip at Shyangboche (3790m). The followed the contour of the hill I saw Ama Dablam (6856m) very clearly. I was pointing at him, he is right there. And beyond to the razor sharp ridge of Nupste (7861m), and poking above it, the tip of Everest (8850m) – it is pity, she is so shy today and wouldn’t show me her face. 

Further along the ridge sits the Hotel Everest View, which, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is the highest hotel in the world at 3880m. I sat there with my cup of tea, simply enjoying the view and tranquility. 
Luckily by the time I was back to the teahouse, the weather changed rapidly flurries and snow. Sitting in the common room enjoying casual chat with others, watching the snows, reading the book, and letting my mind drifting. En, not bad for the closure of this ascending journey.
