Final day in Kathmndu for a while




Its another nice day in Kathmandu, Kathy and Sandy were up early for a pre-breakfast swim at the Shanker Hotel around 7.30am this morning. We have been packing the last of our bags and getting ready for our flights to Lukla tomorrow where we start our approach walk to Namche and then on up to our base camps. Sandy met with Ministry of Tourisim yesterday and ater an intersting interview obtianed the Climbing Permit for Ama Dablam... We also have permit for Island Peak, so we are set to go. Sandy, Ed, John and Kambi are photographed here having a chat and nice lunc at Kilroy's. Ed's missing luggage( thanks to Thai Airways) has been re-located and Ed was at the airport yesterday and it delighted to be reunited with his vital climbig kit! So, we are kind of ready to leave Kathmnadu, and this blogspt will not be updated again until we reach Namche this weekend where we hopfully have access to the internet again...
So, all is fine this end, everyone in good spirits and importantly there as been no travellers tummy reported to date, so all is ace and fine. For family and friends reading this please remeber that out here in Nepal communications can break down quite easily so please do not worry if there is no news for a while, it will simply mean that we cannot get access to the internet for some simple reason! So its good bye from us all, and we should get another update by the weekend!
