Terrace Time!
1 message :: read>
I am sitting on the terrace of the Summit hotel, Kathmandu. Those of you who have been here before will remember what a magical place this is. We have finished dinner - Thai Vegetable curry for me - and are relaxing after a great day at the Shangri La hotel. We were there holding the Tenth Anniversary Caudwell Xtreme Everest conference in conjunction with the Nepalese Mountain Medicine Society. Tomorrow, we return to hold the second day, which will include presentations from both Xtreme Everest speakers and friends, and local experts of mountain medicine and infectious diseases.
On Thursday, our collaborators from the University of Nebraska, USA, will be arriving. I hope they have a good flight as they will arrive late in the evening and we will be dragging them into the lab early the next day to start work. Then, on Saturday the majority of our trekkers arrive. I cannot believe we are almost ready to start the tenth anniversary adventure!
They are predicting thunder storms tomorrow. Hopefully, they will not materialise. It is so nice being able to walk around in Birkenstocks, after the cold weather we have been having in the UK. I cannot believe it is ten years since I was here with the Caudwell Xtreme Everest team.
