Not much to be said for the last couple of days; pretty much all I've done is laze around! I changed Guest Houses this morning so i'm now only paying about 80 cents a night, i thought that was something to note! I did however realize that i missed out on a couple of crucial things to say about my trek, the first being the flight into Lukla. This was exciting to say the least! It's this tiny plane that seats about 12 people, 'Yeti Airlines', the door doesn't close properly, just a kind of latch and sitting next to the door was quite nerve-racking as it didn't seem to quite fit properly, so you could see outside through the cracks! They do however serve the best sweets! Hard boiled chocolate eclair flavour! So the actual flight was fine, amazing scenery...obviously! The best/scariest part, depending on your viewpoint, was the landing. We dropped in height incredibly quickly and it suddenly went pitch black, you couldn't even see out the windows, then we shifted position and you could see that we were completely amoung the mountains, you could almost reach out and touch them. Then we saw the airstrip ahead which is 180m long, a huge drop-off on one end and he other end is a brick wall. Not much room for error, oh and the strip is actually angled up slightly. So it was a little scary, but really really exciting! We landed and pretty much straight away swung off to the right to a little flat area and stopped. Good pilots! So that was pretty cool.

The other thing i wanted to write about were the lodges we stayed in, or rather, the rooms. All the places we stayed were twin beds so i shared with Suzanne the whole time, but if you can imagine all the horror films you've ever seen, the room that the 'killer' always keeps his victims. Those were our bedrooms! It was really quite freaky, no lights, sometimes the walls were made of dirt and the floors weren't quite finished, long corridors. Greg took great delight in talking about various horror films before i went to bed so i got really freaked out! I mean, the lodges were nice and the rooms weren't so bad, but when it started to get dark...well i guess our imaginations got caught up in it too! In a fair few of the places too it was just like we were sleeping outside, just with a piece of wood over our heads! But all the same it was fine!

So i just walked outside from where i'm sitting to find a toilet and someone pointed out this massive Marijuana plant growing wild, then i looked around and it's pretty common. Crazy!

Until next time...i have some more lazing around to do!

Love Katie.
