Day 19 - Thursday 

  • I don't want to sound melodramatic, but I'm dying!
  • If I survive the night, I'll fill you in tomorrow

Chris, just did the full blog catch up in one go....day -1 to 19 to be left on the cliff hanger of "will he make it through the night":( but thank God you spent yesterday re-engineering the toilet as I suspect you're spending a lot of time in there!

Easy for me to say from here, but what a fantastic experience and one you'll never forget. Get better soon and looking forward to the next installment.

Chris, I've been reading the blog and WhatsApp messages, but struggled to insert comments here - I'm hoping I've cracked it now - only took 19 days!!! Hope you are feeling better after your mountain walk!

The Nepalese Adventure: Day 23

Day 23 – Monday Woke up this morning to find myself, once again, in one of those things with 4 legs, with a duvet, pillow, sheets etc. You know: A bed. Stretched luxuriously and decided to take a shower in my en-suite bathroom where there’s both a blue and a red symbol on all the water outlets. (Reading that back, its bound to invite some ribald comments.) Breakfast: Omelette, Orange Juice and Black Coffee. Texted the teacher, Parshuram, to tell him I would not make it back in time for class because of no buses yesterday etc. He replied to say don’t worry. Still quite a lot to do today yet so was ready to check out by 9:30. Receptionist told me there was a slight problem with check out as they did not know the room rate for my booking (maybe they never found it on the system.) Could I please tell them what it should be? My problem is, I’m just too honest, otherwise I could easily have saved myself 5 quid! Headed into Battar. Stopped at the computer shop where I ...

The Nepalese Adventure: Days 19 and 20

Day 20 - Friday I’m alive! But it was close. Without (ever) wanting to appear to show any sexual discrimination, I am sure that one particular demographic of blog readers (which shall remain undefined) will think that I was exaggerating my critical condition, whilst the men will understand what I was going through! Yesterday I was reminded somewhat of when you go into Ikea and you see their automated robots testing the kitchen drawers opening and closing 10,000 times or the simulation of sitting on their sofas to the same degree. (If you've no idea what i'm talking about, look here:            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TqTprBITvQ Well my new toilet door has gone through that same rigorous testing over the last 24 hours and stood up admirably. But, all in all, yesterday was a write off. Stayed in my room all day (other than for door testing). Had some water but no food. For sure, lying on concrete for that long is not conduc...

The Nepalese Adventure: Day 22 (1st issue was incomplete)

Day 22 - Sunday (Apologies if you received half finished post. Internet is so fast here and my hands were flying over the keyboard like Liberaci until I hit Publish instead of Save that is. Doh!)   Woke up this morning in Paradise. Remember? The bed, the AC etc. It was only 6am so I set the alarm for 9, snuggled in a bit deeper and went back to sleep. Got up, had a perfectly temperate shower and went down for breakfast Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on, errr, bread? Orange Juice, Toast and Jam- though the "toast" had clearly fallen out with the toaster. Black coffee. Ate it leisurely whilst catching up with the BBC News over the FREE Wi-Fi. Man, this is living! Voting today.  Election fever has certainly hit the country and everyone wants to talk about it. In fact, when I was climbing Everest on Friday, I got stopped by two women, in the middle of absolutely nowhere, who started talking to me in Nepalese. I managed to follow what they were saying as far a...
