The few days before Christmas are always hard. You try to finish as much work as you can before holidays, shopping malls are packed with last-minute-mums and the rush to get Christmas cards out (and to who?) is a continually postponed chore. But despite this, everyone is so damn happy – because no matter how hard it is, it’s almost Christmas, right?
On that last day, it was like we could hear the sleigh bells ringing, the end was that close. It was all uphill, 200m over about 4 hours, but the mood was so light you would be forgiven for thinking the increase in oxygen had affected us. We couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces on arrival in Lukla that afternoon, and celebrated with some red wine and yak steak with fries for supper.
It was the simple things we missed most, a proper bathroom, clean clothes, and being warm with a full belly. And although a lost my Sketchers shoes (damn it), my beanie, a bit of weight and a lot of sleep, I gained an insight into Nepalese Himalayan culture, and the most spectacular scenery in the world that no photography could ever do justice.
Especially my photography, because I doubt it does anything justice.

I know! The loss of my pink Sketchers are truly a sad time for me. But what is this I hear?? Beyonce AND Xtina? Are you going to both?
