I'm in Nepal!

Hi, just a quick note to let you all know I got here ok. Nearly managed to get a business class seat for the second leg of the journey, shame it didn't happen as it would have been much easier to focus on the TV screen which was actually about 6 inches from my eyes, never mind.

I have met up with the girls at the flat, which is simple to say the least, but will do.There is also a guy from the company that stays at the flat and cooks all our meals for us too which is great.

We're up really early in the morning for a 7am flight to get to the base camp trek start point. It's a 45 minute flight on a plane that has only 16 seats - ARGH - I've seen them they look tiny. From there we start the trek straight away but aparently they are breaking us in gently and we will only be walking for a couple of hours on the first day. Will let you know how it goes when I next get a chance. I expect that by then I will be much fitter and have got over any altitude sickness (it's ok we have tablets to stop us feeling sick - it can be useful haveing links at the hospital it seems).
