Adventures in 2012

Today was a day for sightseeing, not something I was keen to do as I'm itching to be away walking, but heck it sure beats sitting around for another day. In the interim Rajesh had to finalise the passes for Walter and his companion soon to arrive, Elena. Tomorrow we will be off on our adventure, yay !

I woke several times during the night with a headache, it is humid and pending rain. Rajesh left me to my own again today, I was anxious to get moving and thinking that perhaps I should have arranged some fill in action activities to while the time away.

I found out the noise last night was due to the Dashain festival in town. If I wasn't so tired from the journey, perhaps it would have been fun to join in the frivolity. Apparently tonight the festivities will continue, and preparations were being made all over. Unfortunately I was moving on to Boudhha, so I missed out. (Which was probably not a bad thing given I need to be in my best form for the trek ahead.)

On the day prior to my flight I checked and re-weighed everything, my bag weighs in at 10.8 kg, so I think the porter will be happy. On the way to the airport, I had great fears that I left my passport on the table at home. I could not find it in my pockets anywhere. Fortunately my anxiety was allayed, when I remembered I placed in the top pocket of my backpack.
