The new team started to arrive, There will 8 in our group, Myself as the only Brit, 3 Americans, 2 Irish and 2 Hungarian making this a mixed group in both nationality and age, I went back to the Monkey temple with some of the new guys and had a nice day getting to know them, There were plenty of monkeys around so i left the others to explore and as i had done it before spent time alone, Its festival time here so its quite busy, The weather has improved day on day with just some rain later on but mainly dry and clear with some humidity,
We have been very well looked after by Kaye of Ian Taylor Trekking and today she spent all day with us again, You could not ask for more
As with all groups we all went out for dinner again to get to know each other, It was Michael's birthday so he got a surprise cake , Wehave to be downstairs for 6am and be at the airport for 7 am, Its finally about to happen and there have been lots of questions by everybody, I have been fortunate enough to spend a couple of days with a group that have been there, done that so know what to expect, I have no idea if i will have internet tomorrow but should the day after when we get into Namche bazaar, Fingers crossed that all goes well and we arrive in Lukla in the morning
Back at the Temple
A strange form of prayer
Prayer flags from above
At the back of the temple on the way to Buddha Park
The monkey's were out in force

Until the next time
