After years of dreaming about a trip around the world - more like a time-out from reality, Jim and I finally decided last year that we would take the plunge, pack our bags and head off on the journey of a lifetime. We thought about it carefully as to where to go and what to do and finally it all seemed to come together. We would start this epic trip by climbing to Everest Base Camp.
A sad farewell to Jim's folks and Elsa later we were on the plane en route to Kathmandu via a fourteen hour (!!) stop over in Abu Dhabi. We eventually landed in the desert and had some time to kill..... We expected some warmth being in a desert and all, but froze our arses off to say the least. The terminal was reduced to single digits which prevented us from any form of sleep whatsoever. If we were cold in a desert, how would we be able to cope in the snowy mountains of the Nepal Himal? The longest 14hrs of our lives ticked by and finally we were on a jam packed flight to Kathmandu.
Having finally reached our destination we were greeted with the chaos that is Kathmandu and checked into our very own sanctuary amongst this buslting city.
