In the evening after dinner some of the staff began to show us both Sherpa and Nepalese dancing.
Soon we were joining in.
Dance time!
Next morning we were back in Kathmandu. Wendy and Tina strep off our plane. Back in the city!
We had a great dinner on our first night back in Kathmandu at Chez Caroline, one of Kathmandu’s finer restaurants.
A toast to a successful trip.
