Still in Lukla

---

Morning intrepid readers.

So, no further flights happened yesterday so the wanderer stayed in Lukla for a day. A brief wander down to the lower villages below the busy trails, a half-hour meditation by a dry stream and its colourful Mani rocks, and a lazy evening.

The clamour for seats at 3pm when the booking office opens was surprisingly successful so we have a seat on the mythical 07:15 flight this morning.

The good news is the wind has died down overnight but there are clouds hanging in the valley out there this morning. The theory here is that as the sun rises (it is kindly doing so as I type), the clouds will lift away and the planes will begin to fly. I like theories almost as much as I like their practical applications.

It's possible the next post will be from Kathmandu. It's also possible it'll be from a cyber cafe in Lukla where I'll be trying to change my flights back to the UK.
