PictureSteve comes in for a landing.
A reasonable full day at Pokhara. Nice breakfast and coffee this morning, then the other lads went paragliding. Great views of the Annapurna range, although Matt wasn't happy that his flight only lasted 12min...!! No sympathy from Steve..!!
Matt also ordered an iced coffee this morning and received exactly that..!! Cold coffee with ice. Again, no sympathy from Steve...!!
Then the 5 of us each hired a motorcycle and rode for a few hours far beyond Pokhara lake. Good fun and a few laughs, although we rode on roads that the scooters weren't really designed to ride on..!!
Right now sitting by the lake at sunset again. 22deg. It's a pretty good setting. Nepal Ice beers @A$3.10ea (Wine, we are back on the local brew), complimentary popcorn and an impressive view, I like our post-trek recovery..!!
Back to Kat for our last night tomorrow. 

Note. Several have expressed their concern for us (via Facebook and emails) following the news of the recent death of a Melbourne man at EBC. Obviously, we are all safe but we too are intrigued as to who it was as we may have seen him up there while we were there. Thanks for you your concerns.

David glad to hear you guys are safe after the bike ride, last time David rode with a Gaul (Brian) they both fell off.
Looks like the twins have had a ball, big smiles in every photo.

Dave, I preferred Everest Beer to Nepal Ice. Good to see the weather has been kind to you. See you back in Aus for a Carlton Draught.

Hey mate, good to hear you're home and getting back into the swing of things.
Thanks for the heads up on the laundry aroma. Ours will have been fermenting for several days longer than yours...!! Dedicating Saturday as laundry day..!!

    ​Hi all.

    Welcome to the 2017 EBC trip blog.

    David will update and post the progress of the team from their departure out of Melbourne to their slog up to Everest Base Camp at 5,545m amsl and then their safe descent and recovery back down.

    Feel free to access this blog and drop them a comment during their trip. Depending on the availability of WIFI on the way up, the team will be rapt to hear from you. 

    Cheers.
