Day before our Lukla flight...
Hello there!
Today has been a day of events talk, tourism and swimming/lazing around. An interesting day and also a sad one. The people are really poor, in fact the poorest in the world and they suffer when tourism is jeopardised something we are privy to at present, with Olympics, guerrilla warfare etc.
Our chat this morning included the preparations for the trek/marathon. We actually do a practice run on our rest day (28th May) at base camp! Now that wasn't written anywhere in the contract! Tomorrow morning we leave the Hotel Shanker at 6am for our flight to Lukla... our first hurdle some may argue!
We may not yet be able to post on our trek due to difficulty finding a network we can link to. If this is so there will be lots to tell when we get back!
From all, we are well, keen and off to bed!
Stephen, Guy, Barry and Jodie
