"You do not need seat belt or brake. Just good horn"

Hi all!
We have safely arrived in Kathmandu and all is going well so far. We have met the rest of our group (10 of us in total) and they all seem OK so far. There are a few from Blighty and the rest are either from Australia or New Zealand but we can't tell and don't dare ask just yet!) It's 8 boys and 2 girls.
The taxi from the airport to the hotel was somewhat of an experience. This blog entry title is taken from our conversion with the driver en-route. When trying to imagine the traffic in Kathmandu, think of pushbikes, cars, motorbikes, trucks, pedestrians, Rome, Cairo and the A19 rolled into one tiny narrow lane!
Having arrived late at the hotel (we almost spent longer in immigration at the airport than we did on the plane from Bahrain!) it was a quick shower and bed last night.
This morning we had our briefing from our tour leader, Santosh, who seems a decent bloke. He gave us a full run-down of the trip ahead, which I think I can speak for both of us here, simply made us even more excited than we were to start with. However, he did mention there is a cricket match planned for the day we reach base camp. I hope he enjoys it!
Our flight is scheduled for 8.30am tomorrow to go up to Lukla at 2800m. It is from there that we start our walk.
We make no promises as to how often we'll get on here to update the blog during the trip, as from what Santosh has told us, it's even more basic than we had expected. But, hey, you know me and my blogs - I generally always find a way!
Anyways, we are both fine and having the time of our lives so far. Mind you, it is easy saying that from the comfort of an internet cafe (albeit with a very dodgy keybopard!), we know the hard bit is yet to come.
Be in touch soon,
Ste & Jen
