Arrived yesterday afternoon after 21 hours travelling. Made much more bearable by business class to Delhi although I have to think I'm getting soft in my old age! Easy arrival at Kathmandu, met by the team from Summit Trekking and whisked off to the oasis of the Summit hotel up in Patan overlooking the city. Traffic is as crazy as ever!

The first person we met on arrival was Mungo, our friend who is leading this trip and who we were with in Bolivia. Dump bags, quick wash and on to the beers followed by steak and chips! I think the minute we switched the lights off we were both fast asleep! The Summit is still as great as I remembered it from 2006 so nice to be back! All luggage has arrived too so we are good to go! Now we have a couple of days to ourselves to do some of the sights. I'll need to work out if I can post pics somehow!
