This is a multipost trip report from a trip Kim and I took to Nepal in October of 2008. You can find Day 1’s report here. All post from the trip can be found here.
Waking up was early today. Or late, depending on how well some of us adjusted to the jetlag. For me, there really wasn’t any. Maybe it was the constant daylight on the flight from Seattle. Or maybe my body is just goofy. Kim did mention it is easier to adjust going West. At any rate we were up 5:45am and after some meditating, a shower and stretching, I was feeling pretty good. Matt, however, must not have been awake as he ended up putting soy sauce on his french toast. And after waiting for David to finish watching Scooby Doo (it was the only English show) we all boarded the bus for the airport.
All seemed well until we tried heading to the security checkpoint. There was a lady out front who randomly weighed people’s bags. Ok, maybe not so random as she grabbed Dave’s large bag with much camera gear.
Beside Diane’s incessant accidental depressing of the stewardess call button, the flight from Seoul to Kathmandu was enjoyable and calm. No in seat entertainment and I can’t remember the movie, but it was good. The flight is around 5 hours and soon the Himalayas came into view….although on the other side of the plane from most of us. Bummer…..we’ll see them soon enough. The sprawl of Kathmandu thickened as we banked our way into Tribhuvan International Airport
Dinner that night was supposed to be at
Day 3 covers our one solid day in Kathmandu before heading for higher ground.
