Sydney and Blue Mountains

Yeah my first blog :D
On Saturday I had to leave New Zealand and my new kiwi friends :(. Saying goodbye to them was not easy and I was really happy that my whole "Kiwi-Family" came to the airport with me. It was very nice to have a last coffee and nice chats with you ;)
After 3,5 hours I arrived in Sydney where Winnie (I know her from a tramping trip) picked me up. We had a good breakfast and shared our newest experiences. Afterwards we did a little sightseeing tour and went for a nice walk. There I explored the dangerous Australian nature (big spiders 👎).
Then we met with her boyfriend Jake and we drove together to the blue mountains. I realized that Australia is not only dry desert: there are also large areas of forest and beautiful mountains and walls to go climbing. We set up our camp for the night and drove to one of the cliffs to watch the sunset. It was amazing! Back in the camp we had a good and relaxed time sitting around the fire.Les mer

Dag 2
Sydney
2. april 2017, Australia ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
We tidied up our camp and started the day with a delicious breakfast. Because of the rainy and windy weather we changed our plans and decided to be lazy :D so we drove to the three sisters rocks and got another amazing view of the blue mountains. Back in Sydney we went to a boulder hall and climbed almost as good as monkeys :D
Afterwards we went to Jacke's home where Winnie served us delicious pizza and we watched Sherpa (as preparation for my trip to Nepal). In the evening I went with Winnie to church (Barneys church in Sydney). It was a big difference to the "small" (but more personal) !nspire Church in Amberley :)Les mer

Finally in Nepal
4. april 2017, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
I just arrived in Kathmandu and I can already confirm: Nepalese people are the happiest and friendliest ones I've ever met so far. Already on the plane they offered me food and drinks and they didn't accept me saying no (I felt really bad that they as poor people offer me, the "rich" European guy, food and pay for drinks...). Furthermore communication was quiet hard, their English and my Nepalese might be almost on the same level :D. But we managed to do a little bit smalltalk 👍
The first hours here had been quite hard, as everything is pretty chaotic and new here. Traffic is really crazy, everyone is horning, bikes are squeezing between cars (and pedestrians), but somehow it's working and there are no accidents.
At least I've got a (almost) clean room and bed, very friendly and helpful stuff (helping me with buying bus and plane tickets) and sometimes there is also electricity :D.
In the evening I walked through the streets of Thamel, exploring this new world with new interesting smells, lots of shops to buy outdoor equipment (don't know if anything is original :D) and lots of small restaurants.Les mer

Organisation
5. april 2017, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Today I'm preparing my tramp to Everest base camp: buying the bus ticket to Jiri and the plane ticket from Lukla back to Kathmandu, planing how far to walk everyday, where to to rest and acclimatization days, packing my backpack,....
Luckily the guys from the hotel are helping me with most of the stuff, otherwise I would be totally lostLes mer

Dag 6
On the way to Jiri
6. april 2017, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
10 hours bus ride to jiri. Finally I leave the overcrowded, loud and dirty Kathmandu and I get to see more and more of the beautiful scenery (and unfortunately also all the rubbish and pollution). Maybe one of the worst trips of my life :D (I hope I'll never complain about bad streets in Germany again^^). But the landscape is amazing, especially seeing the high mountains and glaciers. On the bus I got to know Sadish (from India). That's very helpful, because he speaks Hindu and can communicate with most of the locals.
We arrived at half past 4 in Jiri and it was already too late to start walking (gets dark by 6). So we took another bus and had again a 1,5 hours adventure ride to Shivalaya. After dinner I went to bed immediately. The mattress was really thin, but nevertheless I had a good sleep.Les mer

Ruth Love Wow!..... Those roads look rather 'hair raising'. Have a safe journey. May God be with you.

Jonathan Dietel Wenn ich das Shirt seh fühl ich mich zurückerinnert an unsere gemeinsame Schlammschlacht mit Christioph und den anderen. Ich wünsch dir eine ebenfalls so einprägsame Zeit in Nepal. Gottes Segen dir und gute Zeiten euch!

Dag 7
Shivalaya to Sete
7. april 2017, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
The stage today: from Shivalaya (1800m) up to Deurali (2700m), then down to Bhandar (2200m) and Kinja (1600m) and up to Sete (2600m)
A long and hard first day, but I felt good and just kept on walking. It was great to leave finally the city and to have almost only natural sounds (sometimes there was a tractor or planes ^^). I had amazing views and could see how people live here (really basic, but they are very friendly and especially the kids like it when I take fotos with them :D).Les mer

Dag 8
Sete to Taksindu
8. april 2017, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Sete (2600m) - Lamjura la Pass (3500m) - Junbesi (2700m) - Phurteng (3000m) - Ringmu (2600m) - Taksindu (3000m)
Another long day with lots of up and downhill. It was very hot again and walking through the pine forest often reminded me of the alps back in Europe (Italy). But then I remembered that I'm at 3000m or higher, where in Europe is growing nothing any more (and here it's normal for people to live in this altitude^^). After Phurteng I could see the "really high" mountains the first time.Les mer

Dag 9
Taksindu to Buspa
9. april 2017, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Taksindu (3000m) - Nunthala (2200m) - Chhirdi (1500m) - Jubhing (1700m) - Kharikhola (2000m) - Buspa (2400m)
After sleeping almost 12 hours I started walking downhill and realized the two long days I did before. Climbing up to Kharikhola was really hard. When I finally arrived there, some other trampers told me to take a rest and slow down :D. So did I and took a swim in the river and relaxed some time. I also found some local children who were building a dam. I wanted to help them but communication was very difficult. So in went on and climbed up to Buspa. There I decided to stay for the night and enjoyed the views for the rest of the days and had conversations with other trampers and their guides/porters.
One funny (and also annoying) thing are the donkeys on the tracks. Their carrying most of the food and other stuff to Lukla and Namche. But often they also block the track and there's some kind of traffic jam :D (and they smell terrible^^)Les mer
