Worst comment award..

...definitely goes to Dave, Helen and Emma! You'd be amazed how many references to height we are getting over here (still, it's nice to hear from you - and from some of the other new commenters).

We're back in Pokhara after our trek, and we have managed to find a card-reader, so you have some piccies! The first one is us in front of Mount Chomolongma, better known as Mount Everest, and the second one is Sharon and a yak (which one is which?).

The trek was good, some beautiful scenery, although it was rather cloudy. We finished just in time to avoid the massive thunderstorm though. We bumped into some more Maoist rebels, this time they were rather jovial, gave us a reciept and cheerfully waved us goodbye (after robbing us of about 2GBP).

Most of the Trek involved climbing up lots of stairs for four days which was hard going in the heat but very rewarding at the end (and we got to freshen up in a group shower with David and Liz!). We went to the former recruitment centre of the British Gurkhas which was interesting and inspired us to buy our most lethal souvenir - a Khukuri (Gurkha knife).

Next we go to Chitwan National Park to go on safari, then it is back to Kathmandu and the end of another trip!
