Hello hello hello!!!!!
We are back in kathmandu, had literally the best time!!! We all made it to the everest B.C. (5300m) and kala patar (5500m). Some of the most incredible views and people. Our group had 15 people who were all amazing and we had such a giggle. It is so hard to sum up the last 15 days in this little blog, but suffice to say, probably one of the best things we will ever be fortunate enough to do! Our guide, who we nicknamed Smiley, was truly awesome, one of the nicest guys who really looked after the three of us. Much to our (CJ's) disappointment, there were no Yaks involved, BUT we did have a crew of about 10 HOT HOT Nepali Sherpas who carried our bags and taught us some classic dance moves. Probably the highlight of the trip was dancing the night away at 4000m in a place called Namche Bazar to CLASSIC hits like ABBa, and the spice girls..while we tried to copy some of the most BIZARRE dance moves in the history of dance...personal favourites include 'the cobra' and 'the backstroke'..which are most definitely NOT cool, but will be brought back to the UK ASAP. The days were long and tough, but filled to the brim with laughs and even the occasional beer! Swum in waterfalls, trekked 700 meters uphill in one day, and rounded up the trip by watching sunrise over Everest at 5500meters while drinking tea and biscuits with our entire group.
Highlights included:
1) a choice of rice, noodles, or potatoes for EVERY meal EVERY day, for 19 days.
2) mish falling madly in love with one of the guides, who told her at the airport that we would 'never forget her'
3) CJ setting some sort of world record for number of Mars bars consumed before 9am.
4) Hannah failing to regulate body temperature..while the rest of the group sunbathed in shorts and t-shirts, miss perry snuggled up in her down jacket and hat!
can't believe it is all coming to an end so soon. tomorrow morning we lose Hannah, and then CJ and I are off to india for one more day before we head home. really looking forward to seeing all you guys, but hoping to have a great night tonight, as it is our last one all together with our group!
well, love you all very much, and now we must sign off as we have a date with MANY MANY mojitos tonight to celebrate!
LOTS OF LOVE AND KISSES xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
