We've Arrived!

Namaste

Sorry for the delay in getting online...internet connections aren't great and as you can see from the pics we've been quite busy stocking up on the carbs before we set off bright and early tomorrow (5am!)



Kathmandu is hot and bustling with some crazy drivers and kamikaze cows. After a morning of temples, we've spent the afternoon haggling for last minute supplies - everything from dry-sacks and reading glasses to peanut butter.



We've now met our leader/doctor; Jackie and our local guide; Kush who've prepared us for the excitements and challenges ahead - once we've flown into the precipice landing at Lukla - the trek should be a walk in the park.



We'll try and keep the blog updated as much as we can, but we've been warned that there isn't much internet access at all and our blackberries aren't even working in Kathmandu.

So for now, here are some pics of our first day in Nepal...

  1. Great start and wonderful to have news and pics. We hope to have more along the way, internet permitting. Travel well and support each when the going gets tough. We will be following your itinerary closely and with you in spirit! Best wishes, M&D
