Lukla ready to fly to Kathmandu

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I said good bye to Rob, he is going back to Pangboche for a rest before he climbs Mount Everest again. I cried when I said good bye to Rob because it will be about a year before I see him again.
Dad and I walked down to Phakding, it took us about 6 hours from Namchee, where we stayed the night. The next day we walked for another 5 hours to Lukla where we are getting the plane back to Kathmandu.
I have brought two shiny metal eggs, the lady wanted Rs500 ($10NZ) but I talked her down to Rs400. I am looking forward seeing more of Kathmandu with Dad for two days.

Dad said we couldn't put a photo on because the internet is really slow.

Love Ethan

  1. Hey Ethan, how very nice it must have been for you and your dad to see Dr Rob's smiling face. And how brave and strong of you to fight off that tummy bug so you could have a good time together. Wonderful photos to help you remember this amazing adventure you are having with your dad. Those shiny metal eggs sound like a good momento of your new life as a mountanineer, now with 7 days at 12,000ft experience! Incredible effort, young man. Congratulations, thank you so much for sharing it in your blog and safe travels to the warm sunny Aussie coast for some well deserved R and R with your family. Liza R-K :-)

  5. Hi Ethan
    My family loves following your blog and seeing all the photos. I can't believe you have seen Mt Everest! Have you had a ride on a Yak? Did you charm the snakes too?
