Saw my first vacuum cleaner in Nepal today, here at the beautiful Samsara Hotel in Kathmandu... I've only ever seen people sweeping carpet... with sticks...
I'm so tired.

Living in Vancouver, I should be used to unreliable weather, but in Nepal? It's been absolutely amazing this last month, and all of a sudden, it's gone to potty... I'm stranded in the town of Lukla. There's too Posted by ribekak in Trekking... | Nov 16, 2009

I have returned to civilisation (aka the crazy and polluted Kathmandu)! For a little while at least. I miss the mountains! Beginning to think I will get culture shock in reverse when I get home as I nearly got it Posted by emily_k in Emily's Adventure | Nov 16, 2009

Breakfast in the canteen: chapatis with orange marmelade, creamy sweet tea.

Thank you, Valerie Pringle.... don't think I could have made it without you...
Seems odd, but one of the main reasons I've brought myself here and to Everest base camp was an old tv show on CBC hosted by Valerie Posted by ribekak in Trekking... | Nov 13, 2009

We thought we would give a preview of our trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Goyko lakes.

We caught an overnight bus back to Delhi and then flew to Kathmandu - we both had window seats on the plane and had great views of the Himalaya poking through the clouds on the way in. We've spent Posted by armrig in Flying South for Winter | Nov 11, 2009

The trek was brilliant and we survived unscathed apart from sunburnt lips.
We were away for 8 days - 2 days on the bus and 6 days trekking. The bus journey was horrendous - 9 hours (the time Posted by armrig in Flying South for Winter | Nov 10, 2009

Well, let's start positively. I'm alive! We got back from our '12' day trek (should have been '14') on Saturday - today is Tuesday so I have had three nights stay in Thamel in Kathmandu courtesy of RCDP Posted by NADZ2 in NEPAL & BEYOND | Nov 10, 2009

Yes, I am still alive and kicking... If anyone is wondering, internet access is few and far between in the Nepali countryside...

I'm really enjoying Nepal so far. Been in Kathmandu for a few days and it was much better than I expected - i.e. cleaner - really colourful and actually quite fun. I'm finding it a bit expensive after SE Asia Posted by emily_k in Emily's Adventure | Nov 3, 2009

We have been to Nepal before - 5 years ago almost exactly. The area of Thamel where we based ourselves again had not changed much. Cars, bikes, vendors, carts and people all compete for space on the bustling noisy Posted by Patrick H. in Patrick Hillman's Travels | Nov 1, 2009

There's nothing like a bout of gastroenteritis to really drop you on your butt. I don't know what I ate, but I have not eaten anything in the last two days. Food poisoning, in the worst way... I'm Posted by ribekak in Trekking... | Oct 25, 2009

I think driving in Nepal is perhaps the most dangerous occupation in the world. Right up there with shark baiting and chainsaw juggling. Took the 8 hour bus drive to Pokhara today on the luxury bus line. Unfortunately, Posted by ribekak in Trekking... | Oct 17, 2009

Made it!
I can't believe I'm here. It's been a crazy whirlwind trip, but I've survived my first day here.

Am sitting in Hong Kong airport. Waiting for my final flight to Kathmandu. Hurray, I'm actually going to get there before I turn 75. Felt a little underdressed in Tokyo. Hiking boots are just not chic...
