Tue 21st Feb. Lukla arrival

21/2/2017

After the dramas of yesterday, we have now arrived into Lukla and are about to commence our trek. The flight is always exciting and today was no exception.
Mingma was there to meet us and we are rapt that his wife Neema will be portering for us to Base Camp as well. Simi is so happy as she is counting on Neema to inspire her.
Day 1 underway.

David, I would advise that Neema carries the cheesecake if you want it to arrive nightly in one piece. We all know that women are gentler with the more fragile items.

Update Tue 21st.
We have all arrived into Tok Tok. There is no wifi here so don't be concerned if the team doesn't update their Facebook etc. There will be wifi tomorrow at Namche, so expect them connecting from there.
The team completed today's 10km hike with no problems and are right now polishing off their first Himalayan meal.

That balcony at Toc Toc brings back memories of 2012. What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?
Love Mingma's pink shoes.

The scotsman wore white thermals under his kilt..... until he shared the same fate as Bill Brown and just like Bills Surname, they turned brown.

Goodness me Sue. We may have to ban you from the blog.
We are in Jorsale having a 10.30am lunch before our first climb to Namche.

Enjoy your first couple of days trekking.
I remember well that difficult climb to Namche. But, I have to say David, it is nothing compared to the 2 - 3 harder climbs each day we had on the ABC trek.
We also had no cheesecake on the way.
