Everest 2025

Day 34 – Mum is at base camp!

9 May 2025 · By Bianca

Today is the long anticipated day that my mum would join my dad and I at Everest base camp!

After breakfast I walked down to the famous Everest Base Camp “rock” and I got to meet her, along side Kerry, her good friend from high school. It was so so nice and comforting, being able to see my mum again after so long. I gave her the biggest hug! Now I know that she will be based at base camp whenever I am doing something dangerous. Now that I am with her, I don’t feel as desperate to go back home, (even though I still miss my other family and friends of course) as much of my “home” is here with me now.

We had lunch and showed them around base camp a bit. I got to introduce Mum and Kerry to most of my friends here, that I have been “living” with for the past month. We had dinner and chatted, whilst we did crosswords. Mum and Kerry were very good so they helped us with them!

I’m so happy to be back with my mum
