Yaks and rhododendrons

I have had a request for some yak and rhododendron pictures. There are only a couple on my phone to show you. I will try to load some more in Kathmandu.

The yaks have long hair and we have only really seen them above Namche. They are quite deft on their hooves negotiating the step stairs and rocky tracks to EBC. Pauline and I did pat a couple at Dole, they were tied up though!

There are whole hillsides covered in the white, yellow and pink flowers of the rhododendron. Pauline has been enjoying identifying heaps of local plants. There were pretty euphorbia on the track to Lukla.
