The weather was outstanding. During the day it was above 80 and at night maybe 65ish. We went swimming one day in the frog pond; I mean pool, at the lodge. In the morning there were like a hundred frogs flopping around in there. It was one guy’s job to clean the frogs out every morning.
Over Dishain holiday was when we went trekking. Once again, we had fabulous weather, all though as soon as the sun went down the down went on. Hey, I like that. That’s a good one! We saw Everest up close and experienced the beauty of the Himalayas first hand. Their beauty and majesty can envelop your entire being. It wasn’t easy for me to come back down to KTM. We stayed in Naamche Bazzar for 2 nights in a great little lodge that served the local rice wine, Roxi, and really tasty Thukpa (thick noodled veggie soup with chicken broth, ummm!!)
