Initially we were not sure we would be able to fly today as the Kathmandu airport was closed for take offs for small planes due to weather, but eventually we took off and flew into Lukla. The flight was surprisingly smooth, and we even found breakfast burritos at the Paradise teahouse behind the airport. From there we hiked first to Phakding for lunch and then to Munjo at 2850 meters where we stayed the night. Chris had his first taste of dhal baat (a Nepali typical meal of lentils & rice with veggies and potatoes which is very common on the trekking route) for dinner there. It's the only meal that is all-you-can-eat which is helpful for hungry trekkers.
It is quite a relief to be on the trail as it is much quieter here with out the cars and motorbikes and chaos of Khatmandu. Only yak bells and music being sung by porters while carrying loads more than their own weight and the roar of the river below can be heard.

That's an awesome picture of Chris! It sounds like you guys are traveling back in time, people singing their own tunes while carrying stuff, you dont see that happening that often anymore around here.
