We headed back to Kathmandu and due to our early start at about 6am for the Everest fligt in the morning we found a hotel near the airport called Hotel Vision, a room was 8 pounds a night and quite cosy with a tv and sofa in each room. We decided to have a nigt in and so Val and I went out for a takeaway and some gin. We found a local restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes as they were only about 30p each, we were told it would be 10mins.

About 2hrs later and now joined by Sam and Blair we were still told it was 10mins but when we eventually got the food we were not disappointed.

The next morning we went to the airport at 6:30 as instructed but the airport didn’t actually open until7. We boarded the flight slightly later than planned as they had been unsure about the weather and sent another plane up first to report on the weather status.

As you can see from the pictures the flight was amazing, definately a once in a lifetime experience, what a nice job those pilots have!

After the flight we tried to nip into Kathmandu fo rlast minute shopping and for Sam and I to book our tickets to Bangkok the following morning. Some VVIP apparently was driving through the streets and so police were everywhere and traffic was brought to a standstill. Our taxi river had tried to turn his cab around but was stopped when a policeman put his arm through the open window and walked off with his car keys!

After seeing Val and Blair off that afternoon we went back and enjoyed the luxury of our room and flew out to Bangkok the following morning.
