Nepal Day 7: Nunthala
My cold is starting to improve now. My throat no longer hurts and the mucus is reducing a little, but it’s starting to move to my chest now, which is exactly what I don’t want.

Nepal Day 9: Surke

Lots of mules, yaks and poo. I was finally feeling a little bit of energy so I ran most of this route. It was quite slippery clay towards the bottom. After arriving I took a quick walk up a rather steep track to Lukla airport. There were three bakeries. The German Bakery on the far
Nepal Day 8: Bupsa

This was a short recovery day. No extension trips again. It rained all day for the first time. My Favourite Thing Today The mule trains were quite interesting and posed a small problem to begin with, but with a little assertiveness it was quite easy to move around them without too much delay and then
Nepal Day 6: Junbesi

The morning started very early at 4:20am and we headed up Pike Peak 1 and 2. These peaks provided the first glimpse of Everest and Makalu that can be seen from the low areas of the trek. We arrived shortly after sunrise and the cloud cleared just in time for a good Everest photo op.

These posts have degenerated into tiny mini-posts. I’m making then from the Android WordPress application now, so I can do them from anywhere but they don’t appear until I find some coverage.

The three most common occupations in Nepal outside of Kathmandu are standing around, sitting around and squatting. Spitting probably takes the number 4 position. No matter how many of these workers you have, it takes a long time to get much useful stuff done, which explains the state of the road to Jiri. Jiri was
Nepal Day 2: Kathmandu again

Today we spent a full day in Kathmandu doing some touristy sightseeing type stuff. The running and climbing and whatnot starts tomorrow. Apparently there is such a thing as 4am, and we’re getting up a little after that to leave. Things should become a little more exciting then. Today was pretty relaxed though. We started
Nepal Day 1: Singapore, Kathmandu

I’m going to attempt to post once each day during this trip, and see how that goes. Today, in a slightly long day, I flew from Wellington to Auckland to Singapore to Kathmandu. After a hot bus ride and a much needed shower, we spent a little bit of time wandering around Kathmandu getting some
