Saw the Himalayas... and nearly swooned!

Lol, ok so maybe I didn't actually almost swoon, but they were amazing to see! Puts to shame all the mountains I have seen and climbed so far! The flight from Doha to Kathmandu was uneventful... until we were supposed to land that is. The fog was thick and visibility bad enough that we circled for a half hour hoping it would improve. It did not so we diverted to Dhaka, Bangladesh. That was an extra hour out of the way, then we landed and refueled before waiting another 45min for clearance to leave. Then just over an hour back, where we arrived about 4 hours late. Oh well, better a safe landing late than a crash landing on time:D

Jagat met me at the airport. What a wonderful man! Very kind and calm, and a great story teller. He will be a blast to be on the expedition with. Jon arrived shortly after I did and we met up with Les and Marschelle. Together we all wandered around town a bit, looked at gear and got food. But now I'm about to fall over, so tired I can hardly walk straight. So more later. I'm off to bed. G'nite.
