Today we left the simplicities of trekking life behind us for the chaos of Kathmandu. Oh how I miss the yaks and donkeys and their bells ringing warning you they are just around the corner. Instead it’s the Tiger Balm sellers, taxi operators, horns beeping and the odd Hashish seller that deep down I think Josh wants to cut a deal just to see what he can get it for then quite possible shit himself when the price is agreed.
Again, Prakash had booked us on first flight out of Lukla and the weather gods were on our side with a departure out of Lukla at 7.30am. All I will say is you haven’t experienced Nepal until you experience Lukla delays.
Water was hot at the moonlight and 1 minute in the shower sends your skin wrinkly. Three shampoos later and you manage to get a lather. I no longer have dirt under my finger nails.
Josh, Tess and Tahlia were desperate for KFC, yes it’s here in Kathmandu. Josh managed two zinger burgers which tells me he may have been over trek food. Popcorn chicken and chips seemed popular. I always knew there was a KFC here in Kat but most of my trips have been with 40+ year olds so mention KFC to them and they would look at you funny.
Tess and I have started antibiotics to see if it will shake this dreaded cough. Who knows, anything is worth a try. Gary visited the barber at the Kathmandu Guest House. His beard contained 12 days of snot, food and anything else that thought could habitat in there. Came out a new man.
Tonight was dinner at the Kathmandu Steak House. A little tough but when you’ve been vegetarian for two weeks we didn’t care. Shishir came out with us, gave us all peace scarves and will return to his village tomorrow, a 6-7 hour bus trip.
Prakash has had another X-ray and his ankle is healing nicely. His next trek is March 17th so his goal is to have it good by then.
