Kathmandu, Nepal

We flew into Kathmandu the night before Whitney's birthday. We spent her birthday acquainting ourselves with the dusty city and prepping for our upcoming 14 day trek through the Himalayan mountains. We drank Everest beer and dined on momos (Nepalese dumplings), a rangi changi (colourful) salad, as well as a chocolate soufflé. For a birthday present, Whitney treated herself to a new pair of Solomon hiking boots and we rented a backpack, sleeping bag, superwarm puffer jackets, beanies, hiking socks, and hiking poles. Decked out with our new kit, we are itching to get into the mountains. Here we go!
