After an 8 hour walk from Namche Bazzare the girls made it back to Lukla at around 5.30, the last half hour left us drenched as the heavens opened. One of our group members has decided to go at a more leisurely pace and decided to stay at Phatding last night with one of our sherphas Kusam. We are expecting him to arrive in Lukla tonight and then to fly into Kathmandu tomorrow am. Our flight in the tiny craft was as thrilling as ever leaving the 10 degree sloping short runway which ends abruptly with valleys and paddy fields hundreds of feet below.. This afternoon we are making the most of our 5 star hotel facilities as what nicer place to hang out and do a bit of washing have a bath and what TV! Our shopping trip to Thamel is cancelled until tomorrow. As we have been informed that there is a mauist march there this afternoon, so a place to avoid today.
More news tomorrow
Later days Kathy
