Todo:
* climb the planned 800m from today
* climb 550m we had not climbed yesterday
* start with a 3500-step stairs (269 stories)

Going 'alone' with the guide enabled me to go full speed. Some bragging is in order:
* Normal time to climb the stairs: 2.5h
* guide's record time to climb the stairs: 1.5h
* our time (to where the guide measures): 45m
* our time to the total end of the stairs: 1h

And the rest of the way to ghorepani took us about 4.5h

Check out the nice photos!

Oh and what I find incredible is the Porters. Those are the people that will carry your backpack for you. Porters have a whole pack on their back, consisting of multiple backpacks, sacks, weekend bags and sometimes even coffers. Where most people would stagger under the amount, these guys carry all, with a single strap over their head. And keep going like machines
