Wednesday May 13th (my father died 6 years ago on this day) Thamel (touristy downtown area in Kathmandu) is a good transition to the “real” world, or better: The world and the life I am accustomed to. I am so, ever so, grateful that I got ... Read more >

Wednesday, 24 Jun 2009 | Views [107]

All right, it was a long ass ride in the bus! I could not get comfortable the roads were rough, the frequent stops were a blessing and a curse. We experienced 2 road blocks at night, one in a village were somebody was accused of kidnapping ... Read more >

Found a lodge next to a buddhist monastary. When we first arrived, we thought somebody is playing with a microphone and doesn't know that the speakers where on outside (you know when kids play with microphones, right?) It turned out to be some kind ... Read more >

Staying with the family - Party of the town.

Thursday, 18 Jun 2009 | Views [74]

May 8th - day 29th We caught up again - no longer behind, just in time.... Our guide (-book) was utterly wrong this time. We were so lucky to have stayed in the Gothe Bazaar Lodge, because the trail lead us up a ridge and over some rocks on a steep ... Read more >

Got a bit behind again...............

Sunday, 14 Jun 2009 | Views [53]

Didn't make it all the way to Phedi. Climbed up to the pass, but all three of us felt a bit weak today. We had rumbling stomachs (yogurt, milk?). So the climb was harder and slower..... Passed the pass Salpa Hanjyang at fairly good weather, but soon ... Read more >

the day before the last peak

Sunday, 14 Jun 2009 | Views [69]

Monday May 4th day 25. OK, I have to say it again: After 3 days I was able to feed the pig. Our host family was very, very nice. This Amma was force feeding us last night (did I mention that already?)and when I had told her that I was really, really ... Read more >


Green meadows and how to feed a pig....

Friday, 5 Jun 2009 | Views [76]

Hiked up to the pass of Satu La at 3173m in the rain, thunder and lightening right above our heads- steep, slippery and narrow especially near the peak. I went ahead and found myself scared alone, when the clouds moved in on me with the thundering at ... Read more >
