Day 5 and still waiting

Weather at Lukla is still not clear, so today we took a 2 hour taxi ride out to a local hilltop resort named Nagarkot and had a late lunch and walked around in the cool air. It was nice to be able to breathe the clear air for a change, although getting there and back took a huge toll on our lungs. Later in the evening, back at the hotel, Barbara and I had a light meal in an outdoor terrace on the 6th floor of the Radisson, while others spent time in their rooms or back in Thamel. In bed by 9 pm with a plan to get up at 7:30 am for a leisurely breakfast in the Radisson before heading over to the airport in hopes of catching a mid-day flight to Lukla.
