Kathmandu!  The airport was crazy, many many people! It is the start of a major  festival here, it is also very monsoon like, hot in the morning and then  raining at night Beni from Cho Oyu Trekking tells me. Great to be back  in the office! Lots to do, pack all climbing equipment, buy more food - already brought alot from Europe.
Beni has already booked and bought plane tickets, booked porters, lodges, permits and everything else that needs to be done.
I hear that Fire and Ice is open again too, everything is going great!
