What is it about departure day..? That sense of excitement and adventure, but also the unknown. The intrigue of a new team, a team that you think you have come to know over the last few months, but you often learn more about as the trek progresses. The anticipation of meeting up with long time Nepalese friends. The hope of seeing perhaps a little progress from the earthquakes that devastated this beautiful country two years ago. It all makes for a healthy level of butterflies in the gut.
Shailendra, Simi, Steve, Glenn and I depart at 3.15 today, arriving into Bangkok just after Midnight (Oz) and around 8.15pm Bangkok time. We will overnight near the airport and then continue on to Kathmandu tomorrow morning.
John, Matt, Dan, Neil & Rick depart Dubai this afternoon and arrive into Kathmandu around 6pm tonight.
Good mate Rick is not doing the trek, but is coming across from Dubai (currently living there) for the weekend just to re-visit Kathmandu after 30years..!! (Rick, Peter and I first visited Nepal in 1987..!!)
We will all meet up tomorrow. Bring it on..!
