There is nothing which can describe the helicopter ride back to Kathmandu - it was quite simply the best thing! What a way to end the expedition - two helicopters arrived for us. Fighting against the thin air one came to pick up our bags, and drop off some clearly essential supplies (flat screen TVs, microwaves and an assortment of other carefully wrapped packages. A mother and small child clambered on top of our bags and were whisked off ahead of our chopper which again unloaded everything from newspapers to what looked suspiciously like a flat packed wardrobe!We were then treated to the best way to view the Himalayas from the hovering diving and contouring helicopter which had to land at Lukla (after only 15 minutes!) to pick up more fuel and then we were back in Kathmandu within an hour!
A wonderful end to a wonderful expedition.... I wonder if the wife will look kindly on the plan for a repeat visit to get to the top.....
