A quick flight on Sauna Airways and we arrive in our first real country, in that we actually got our passports visa stamped, and all for just $25!
Kathmandu is seventyhundidrum meters (Google it) above sea level and smells of incense and pee. The Fuji hotel is 'comfortable' and the beer - 'Everest', (of course), comes in 650ml bottles, so who am I to complain!
Ais seems to have mastered the art of using a simple beach sarong as any item of clothing accoutrement and uses this skill to blend in like a local wherever we seem to be. At 6'4", white, with a comedy t-shirt and some natty stubble coming... on I am sporting the quintessential backpacker look, so after a quick trip to downtown Thamel I am now rocking some orange Nepalese MC Hammer pants (the crotch is at my ankles nearly ( I'm so ghetto)) and a stylish Hindu- 'esque' top. Photos....Ha, you wish!
The dilemma tomorrow is Everest summit flight or Annanpurna mountain biking, hmmmm?
Tri folk- they have an annual Everest Base Camp Triathlon in November, highest in the World at 6000m!
For those following, bowels are still good, but plenty of time for all that to change!

I have always wanted to climb Everest, ever since I was a kid, and with the summit a sniff away its exciting but a tad frustrating to be here.
