Nepal: Lukla to Phakding 2620m (Day 3)
We met our trekking guides today, decided they were very cute and that maybe we wouldn’t die, and took a short flight in a very small plane to Lukla, at 2620m where we would begin out trek.
It was an easy day, and we took it slow, only walking for about 4 hours altogether. Lunch was at a small tea house on the way - potatoes and noodles - and we ended up at our guest house just after the afternoon clouds rolled in and it began to rain. We had tea and biscuits at 4pm, supper at 6pm, and I was in my cabin tucked into my down sleeping bag, exhausted, by 8pm.

Dearest Sarah
I don’t know whether you can receive my hotmail so I will perhaps repeat a few things. It sounds like your having a good …there is nothing wrong with winging it …life would be pretty boring if everything was planned.
Everyone at home are OK but Beni is a bit crook so hopefully he will recover from whatever he has. The scenary must be great. I once flew over Mt Fuji in Japan & it is always pretty hard to describe fantastic scenary. The weather is a bit strange …one minute it shines…next minute it pours rain …Sydney!
Mum is doing well in her new job & now has all her staff taking a Panadol & having a lay down when disater occurs. I hope your trip to Italy goes well ..I thought you were going to work at a village??
Anyway, you look after yourself & keep safe.
Lots of love
Dad
