Still, still, still, in Lukla

---

A day yesterday wasted haggling for non-existent helicopter flights to Kathmandu means the wanderer is still sat in Lukla as his international flight departs for London. The wanderer would love to be able to give you all an update on when he's now expected back in the UK but he currently has little idea. A few hours from now, a decision that should have been made yesterday will be made today and some aircraft will convey him to the lowlands.

On the second day without flights, Lukla turns into a frustrating mess of a transport market. Yesterday afternoon the last couple of choppers were flying in and out through thick cloud, which I believe is somewhat against recommended behaviour. Amazing what some pilots will do for money. Having said that, the plane pilots are refusing to fly in weather a few dozen times clearer than the weather the wanderer and Myth flew through on the way down the west coast of Scotland a little over a year ago. Myth - I have no doubt you would happily fly in this - maybe you need to come do a contract out here for Tara Air and teach them a few things. More updates later I hope.
