Hallo Ihr Lieben!!! Ja, wir haben es tatsaechlich geschafft: Wir sind gesund und munter von unserem 5-Tages- Trekking-Trip im Himalaya zurueck!! Und was soll man sagen: Es war eine Erfahrung wert! Das klingt jetzt nicht positiv genug? Nein ehrlich, es war toll! Das liegt zum einen daran, dass es eine Erfahrung war, die wir zum ersten Mal gemacht haben und zum zweiten an unserem super netten Fuehrer (Er heisst Bharat), den wir dabei hatten. Aber fangen wir mal vorne an und arbeiten uns langsam ans Ende :-) 21.04.07 Der Beginn: Mit ein bisschen 'Bauchschmerzen" Um 5:45 Uhr hiess es aufstehen und unser Gepaeck (Adrian musste die ganze Zeit ca. 12 kg mit sich rumschleppen!) zuende packen. Bharat hat uns abgeholt und wir sind ca. 1 Std. bis zu unserem Ausgangspunkt "Naya Pul" (1,070 m) gefahren. ... read more

Our bus driver was capable, if not a bit maniacal, as he careemed out of the hills of the lush Kathmandu ... read more

I had quite a bit of trouble deciding what the title of this udpate should be as my time in Nepal has varied greatly. After a month in the country I am not really sure what my opinion of it is, or where it ranks in the growing list of places I've been to. I have started to realize though just how many factors may influence your experience in a country: where you are coming from, how much money you have, how long you have been away for, and all the little individual experiences that you have whilst there. For those that have been waiting for a blog update here it is. It's a long one and if you are like me and prefer to just look at the pictures, well I've taken some time ... read more
