Singapore stopover
23 settembre 2023, Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
ALLE and I got in to Singapore and stayed at a nice hotel.
ALLE was pretty tired so he had a rest while I went out to have a wander around. When I got back I found an empty Oreo wrapper and ALLE fast asleep.

We are just out at a cafe now so I can have a much needed coffee before we go to Din Thai Fung for lunch. I’ll be introducing ALLE to yummy dumplingsLeggi altro

ALLE and I ate dumplings at DinThaiFung and they were delicious. A little boy thought ALLE was a dinosaur so I had to show him a website about frill necked lizards.

Kathmandu
25 settembre 2023, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Arrived in Kathmandu late last night.
We met up with Maree and Russell and had a great 2 hour catch up over breakfast.
We then had our trip briefing out in the gardens of our beautiful hotel. Hotel Shanker was formerly a palace and has been converted. It’s very grand.
ALLE needed a big sleep while I went shopping and had lunch so he stayed in the room and did some of the puzzle book.
In the afternoon ALLE and I went out by the pool and made some new friends before heading into the Black Olive for momos for dinner.Leggi altro

Cancelled Flight
27 settembre 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Alle and I were excited to go to the airport today to fly to Lukla. We met our guide Sandesh and our Sherpa Tendi. Our bags were all packed and we drove to the airport after breakfast.
When we had been there a little while, it was clear that flights had been delayed. The weather in the mountains around Lukla can change quickly and flights are often delayed and cancelled.
After many hours, the flight was unfortunately cancelled. Sandesh spent a long time on the phone organising for us to drive to another airport where we have flights for tomorrow.
We are staying in a little town a few hours from our new airport so will have to be up very early to get there.
Let’s hope we get to Lukla tomorrow.Leggi altro

Airport fun
28 settembre 2023, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
This morning we got up mega early to drive to Ramechhap airport for our flight.
When we got there many people from the Kathmandu airport who couldn’t get flights were there.
After waiting for a while, the dreaded sign went up to say that flights were delayed due to weather- again!!
Luckily we had some entertainment while hanging around. It was international tourist day and we had music and dancing and the tikka and scarfs being given out. ALLE made sure he didn’t miss out on one.
Later in the afternoon there was much excitement when we realised the planes were coming in.
We finally boarded the flight to Lukla and headed up through the clouds and into the mountains.
We are staying a 2 hour walk out of Lukla at the teahouse. Early night for us tonightLeggi altro

Rain rain rain
29 settembre 2023, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
The past few days have been lots of walking and plenty of rain. ALLE wasn’t keen on this weather so he spent quite a bit of time in the backpack keeping dry.
The rain causes lots of little waterfalls and the track can be quite slippery. Not our favourite terrain. Yesterday along with the mud and sludge we also discovered leeches! Maree had about four and Sandesh had a few. I thought I had gotten away with it but found one on my leg and a huge one on my stomach. The stomach one kept bleeding and bleeding and finally stopped about 5 hours later - yukky things.
Today we are staying at a pretty lodge up on a hill at Kharte with beautiful views.
ALLE made friends with the local kitty.
Hopefully no rain tomorrow!Leggi altro

Up down up down
1 ottobre 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Wow today was another big day of walking. We left the tea house and headed off down the track. It looked like it was going to rain so we all bought big sheets of blue plastic to cover everything. We were hoping it would be a good omen and the rain would stay away.
We did a big downhill walk followed by a huuuge uphill that took us to a place we stayed last time in 2020 where it snowed.
We had some lunch there - Aloo Dum, then headed off for a huuuge downhill walk. I fell over but luckily neither ALLE or I were hurt.
After our down we had a steep uphill for about an hour til we came to our lovely lodge where we are staying. It is perched on top of a hill with amazing views.
ALLE and I are having fried rice for dinner yum yum.Leggi altro

Bridges and rocks
2 ottobre 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
After a nice cozy sleep, ALLE and I had rice pudding with honey for Brekky which was very filling.
Today was challenging. A slightly shorter day but a very big and strenuous walk. There was lots of rain overnight which again left the track slippery but luckily the rain held off.
The one part of the track we had all been dreading was today- up and over a big rock formation, lucky they had put in a chain to help. We also had lots of waterfall crossings today and needed lots of help from Sherpa Tendi as they were slippery and flowing fast.
We arrived at our destination at Toktou where we had visited for lunch in 2020. It was so nice to stop by lunch and have some relax time.
ALLE and I shared a bowl of soup which we ate by the fire.Leggi altro
