Day 1: 19th Nov, Hello Kathmandu

Long day with flight leaving 12:30am.
So arrived at the airport and met my new partners in crime. All from Melbourne.
Ron and Norma are a couple, then Lyn, Michael and myself are here with no ties. Finally there is our fearless leader Cecilia who organised this and has to keep us on the straight and narrow. Of course I will be no problem for her. 17 hours 30 minutes after leaving we arrived at Kathmandu.
She who we have to listen to arranged window seats for all of us so we got great views of the Himalayas flying into Kathmandu.




And so we arrive at Kathmandu.


We are picked up at the airport and I am not sure if we were a bit smelly after 18 hours or the locals are really nice but the had good smelling flowers around our necks in no time.


Streets are crowded but to morrow looks like it wil be a great day for exploration. Great accommodation organised by the boss. Just enough time for Lyn and I to plot tonight over a drink.


Thamel is where it all happens, apparently the meeting place of trekkers. (Maybe we will see Captain Kirk or Spock!)
This place buzzes at night.
