At the moment we are in Boudha, close to Kathmandu. This is a place where lots of Tibetan refugees live. Therefore there is plenty of Budhist Monasteries and Monks. The latter are currently walking rounds and rounds around the giant stupa a few meters from our guest house.

And then, finally, we are heading to the highest mountain in the world. We are off to Mt. Everest!
Tomorrow we take a flight to Lukla, supposedly the most dangerous airport in the world (Jose, you can track that flight: tomorrow 6:30am, KTM-LUA, air nevercomeback...). We'll be trekking for a total of two weeks to Mount Everest (well, actually not the peak, only to the base camp at approx 5'500m), waking up 6am, starting the trekking at 7 until approximately 3pm, when we call it a day.
Looking forward to: Great views, incredible landscape, monasteries, blisters and hopefully no altitude sickness!
So dont worry if you don't hear from us in the next weeks. No reception, no internet, no electricity. No blog :-). We promise to tell you all about it when we're back!

Heya, we're back from Himalaya! T'was great.
Where we'll be in August...? Dunno, really. Around Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, maybe? But our planning is really not going that far.
Just make your plans and let us know. And we will try to meet up, if it works out:-)
