Thre trek is off to a good start. Dharma and I got our early flight to Lukla, which must be one of the most special airflields in the world: short and steep. The pic shows the two of us halfway to tonight's stop of Phakding. You pronounce it! His "front" rucksak is full of salt and spices for the folks at our first lodge - 'cos these things are a tenth of the price down in Kathmandu: about the same ratio as there is on internet access! No yeti sightings yet, but they clearly have their own airline, and (just down the road) their own internet cafe.
We are staying with a very fine Sherpa family, and I've just had the best Dhal Bhat yet. Tonight of course it will be garlic soup!. That's Pasi in her kitchen.
