Nov 4 and waiting




Well, today's weather at Lukla is cloudy, so we waited at the airport for 5 hours for a hope that planes would eventually fly to the Everest region, but at 1:00 pm flights were called off and we returned to Kathmandu to search for a hotel for the night. We are in the Radisson which is a step up from our previous hotel but in a different part of town. Our flight now gets bumped, so we have to come back tomorrow in hopes they will add a flight.

Yesterday (Nov 3) we spent part of the day getting Rupees (Nepalese money, ~79 rupees to the dollar) and visiting the historic part of Kathmandu. We walked through marketplaces on our way to the more historic buildings (first photo).
