Blog Update 25 December 2009


It’s a beautiful Christmas day here, around 30 C with a clear blue sky. A great Christmas breakfast with pancakes and toast was followed by a relaxing morning. Some of the team have taken advantage of the onsite shower, US$20 seemed a small price to pay for a bag of hot water and hosepipe for that tremendous deep clean feeling! If the wind remains light, we may try some paragliding tomorrow around base camp…..watch this space. I think we have chicken on the menu tonight, we’ll just close our eyes and dream of the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.
