Sine the moment we stepped off the plane in Rome I felt like I was back in the good ol USA. Dont get me wrong, I have loved every second of travel, but after weeks of dirty streets, smelly airports, and truthfully some scary people it felt like I was stepping into the cleanest place on earth (and mind you Im talking about a train stop!). Anyhow backtracking very quickly Matt and I were flying in from Kathmandu, Nepal (after a quick detour to the Doha airport in Qatar). Nepal was such an extreme between the crazy polluted dirty city and the calm serene and beautiful Himalayan Mountain range. We had gone on a 5 day trip tothe Everest region hiking through Lukla towards Namch Bazaar and Temboche (sp?) hoping to catch a view of the elusive Everest. We were seuccessfyul and saw some incredible views of the mountain as wells as views of the others 'greats' surrounding the big guy. We walked over the Hillary Bridge and through amazing valleys and gorges all the while climbing up to about 12,000ft a minor feat when compared to some of the other folks we met along the way. We stayed with Sherpa friends throughout the hike and really just enjoyed ourselves out in the natural world. I'll go into more detail later but for now the word magnificent stays in my mind.
After a few more days in Nepoal we headed the equally stunning, though for different reasons, Amalfi Coast where we stayed in the most perfect plac ein Amalfi with Italian tiles, delicious food and lots of relaxing time on the coast....
I feel like I'm refreshed and rested for the final month....
Cheers!
