Alessio’s Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatch
September 22, 2014 – Kathmandu
Midnight Arrival in Kathmandu. After long flights from Vancouver to Guangzhou and then to Kathmandu, Rich and Bonnie stood outside the Kathmandu Airport in midnight air. Ang Temba was waiting for them and they went quickly to the Yak and Yeti Hotel for check in. As you can see check in is quiet that time of night at the Yak and Yeti.
Temba told Bonnie and Rich to sleep in at the Yak and Yeti after their long flights, but they were ready to go by 9:00 am on Monday. Off to see the sights of Kathmandu!
