This is what travelling is all about!!

Yesterday we went out to a beautiful valley in Nepal with our hotel owner, Lux, and his friend Ardie, a movie star :) and watched filming...it was so different from Hollywood...but really cool to see. Ash, J and I were sitting watching filming and a local boy came around and asked if it was an English film....I reckon they don't see too many westerners....it was especially funny when the camera man and photographer were sneaking shots of us sitting down!!! Perhaps we'll be in a movie when we get back from Everest....now thats another story I'll tell you in a few minutes so keep reading!!!! After filming we met up with Ardie 'actor' and some other new friends at our hotel for dinner, a lovely curry and gin and tonic feast, in the restaurant a ladies association was celebrating and withing a few minutes we were 'driving the car,' ' changing the lightbulb,' learning new dances and proving that white girls cant dance!!! It was brillant and by the end of the night I had 25 bangles stuck on my wrist and other nepalese jewlery as well.....by the time we headed up to our room we had just over 3 hours until we had to wake up and catch our flight to Lukla to start our 16 day trekk...not the smartest thing we had ever done....we arrived at the airport hopped on a small 19 seater plane and headed through the himalayas, it was stunning...just as we were flying over lukla the pilot told us that due to the clouds she could not land the plane, so we turned around and went back to Kathmandu....we soon found out that this was the first flight in about 7 days that had been able to leave for lukla, so we ended up getting a free amazing mountain flight....the downside was that we had to wait in the airport all day to see if the weather cleared in Lukla, an airport that is far worse than the kamloops airport, not even a place to eat, ugh! We have now rebooked our flight and are heading out again tomorrow morn!! Hopefully we will be the first plane to land in 8 days!!! Off to bed now, hugs, megs
