Finally we got to see the great Mt. Everest while en route to Bangkok.  She’s so beautiful standing awesomely above the clouds at over 8,000m.

There was utter confusion before takeoff as to who was sitting where.  As warned by the Lonely Planet, Royal Nepal Airlines tend over their tickets and amazingly they had also issued too many boarding cards – we couldn’t believe it.  There were three for the window seat next to us – so amusing.  Whatever happened, we were not giving up our seats!

If they can’t get the issuing of tickets right, it didn’t fill us with confidence that they could get the aircraft maintenance right.  We are still in flight as I write this post and are just about to receive our food – probably Dhal Bhat – if you don’t receive this post, you’ll know why .

Update: we have arrived safely at out hotel in Bangkok and will soon be tucked up in bed.  Will upload a post at some point tomorrow.

In preparation of our travels to Bangkok, it was time for a bit of a make over – Sam laughed when I said I was going for a full service, she suggested that maybe I should wait till we got to Thailand .

A haircut, cut shave, head and back massage all for a mere £1.50 – I threw in another pound for good measure.  Having trekked for a week then coming back to the smog of Kathmandu, I feel somewhat clean and tidy again.

No more communications for a day or so until we find our feet.  Our mobile should work in Thailand so we can easily be contacted should the need arise.

Finally we’ve had a chance to upload some pictures to the website. It’s been shitting with rain here in Pokhara for the last few days so we’ve not been doing anything exciting other than reading, watching DVDs and sorting these pictures.  We have only selected our favourites and reduced the file size so it won’t take too long to view – enjoy.
