My last post left me off in Pokara, which was like a beautiful resort town on the side of a lake. I spent a day there driving around to see the sights, and ended up meeting an Australian who had rented a motorbike for the day. We met up at the Gurka museum on the [...]

I had a longer post that I was going to put up before I left, but my computer just hates me and I couldn’t get it to transfer to my USB drive.I left Kathmandu on a chopper style bike, which puts my feet out in front of me and I sit in a reclining position. [...]

Kathmandu has been a unique experience, simply because I had no plans after Everest. While I was in South East Asia, I decided to head to Everest, but failed to think about what I would do for the weeks I had in Nepal afterwards. I have spent the past week hanging out with the German [...]

Everest Base Camp. The name seems monumental. The entire trek has been aiming at this goal. Seven days of putting one foot in front of the other, breathing air that cannot even support plant life, and looking at the peak of Mount Everest in the distance.

If you have not read Part 1 yet, you should probably do that first. That night, while we were bundled up around the stove in the old blankets all the lodges keep around, Chris came in telling us we needed to come outside right away to see something. The thought of leaving the warm room [...]

So much to go over. This has been one of the longest periods of time that I have gone without updating… I think.  So I am back in Katmandu, seeing it for the first time really since I was only here for less than 12 hours the first time. Which is where the story begins. [...]

Power in Kathmandu goes out for several hours a day on a rotating schedule, and I have not been able to get my laptop online… so it will be a little bit before the complete update comes. So far it is four pages and I am only starting, so be ready for a small novel.

At least your base camp. This is really just a teaser post. Internet up here is via satellite, and expensive, so I will do a full update tomorrow.  I just wanted everyone to know that I did indeed make it to Base Camp, and to the top of Kala Pattar, which was 5550 meters (18,209 [...]

I leave for Nepal in an hour. I will be out of contact for at least two weeks, if not more, and to tell the truth – it makes me happy. I have spend way to much time on this damn computer over the past few months of travel. So I will finally be free! [...]
