Well, if you are reading this blog you will have seen that Kathy posted news here yesterday from the buzzing Sherpa capital of Namche. They arrived there late last night and were delighted to get good views of Everest etc from Kallipitar and they enjoyed their walk back down to Namche. This morning their plan was to get up early and walk all the way to Lukla, which is quite common for Expedition climbers but quite a long way for trekkers. Nelson was going to get up early with his private Sherpa and porter and leave in good time in the hope that his wee legs will get him to Lukla in one day... I am sure he is quite the gentleman walking along with his private sherpa and porters!
Kathy and the other incredibly fit women on the trip will no doubt get up late, have lots of coffees and cakes in the wonderful Namche bakery's and have a quick tour around the shops before briskly making their way to the airport at Lukla. Apparently there have been a few flight delays with the bad weather, but its often like that at this time of year, and now- a- days there are so many flights flying in and out of Lukla that any back log built up due to weather and flight delays soon clears... so if we are lucky we will hear from them all again soon. Once they reach the easy to access cyber cafes and telephone links in Kathmnadu they will be communicating with their own loved ones and this blog may go quiet for a day or two.The elections are comming up soon so I have heard that there are some marches and things going on in Kathmandu but no trouble is expected.
