Hannah’s Weblog

Hey everyone,

I thought it was about time to update you all on what’s been going on in the world of Han and I the past few weeks.

How is everyone? I hope you are all well.

Well……we have just returned from Everest Base Camp (5,350m) We feel quite delirious due to the quantity of oxygen! The trek itself was fine, (lower down) really beautiful scenery, steady ups and downs, good weather and comfy lodges. When we started to get past 4,000 metres the scenery turned baron and moon like!! The altitude also started to take effect on our group. We started with eight members but only six made it to Base Camp, due to altitude sickness, which was a shame. The day we walked to Base Camp it was -20! Our hair, eye brows and eye lashes froze and we looked about eighty years old! All worth it though! (I can say that now!) To see Everest was amazing, it felt kind of magical. After two weeks of no transport (apart from Yaks), people, noise and general civilisation, it was a bit of a shock to come back to Kathmandu.

On Tuesday we are travelling (if there are no road blocks) back to India. We have a flight from Kolkata to Chennai, where we will begin our South India adventure. We will have to do it quite quick as we will be flying back to the UK on 9th April and have a lot of places to visit.

I’m really exited to see everyone. x
