The second day in Kathmandu soon to a close. Tonight is still a "Group Dinner invited to what our local agency has the program. As is common today, we share with other mountaineers a Permit (climbing permits) to reduce costs. Today we will learn the remaining climbers. Currently we know that more Austrians on the DAV Summit Club, Americans and has reached Lunger Tamara the youngest woman ever to the top of Lothse with us the permit and thus share the Base Camp.
Since the last update is done but again a lot. We walked through the extremely busy tourist area of Kathmandu. At each corner there is a mountain sports store, photos of the big, high mountains of the Himalayas and a touch of adventure is in the air. This adventure air we were able to experience first hand yesterday when we Elisabeth (Mrs.) Hawely have taken - a living legend well beyond Kathmandu also. For decades, interviewed Mrs. Hawely every Himalayan expedition which starts from Kathmandu. It explores the personal data, the climber's life story and the objectives. And she tells about the encounters with other climbers, from big names and achievements, but also of dizziness and angezweifeltem "peak of happiness."
But "work" was now in the program. This "work" consisted mostly of waiting (and waiting times in Nepal because of the unpredictable duration of species entirely out of work in progress). We picked up our 14 Air Cargo barrels sent from the airport in Kathmandu. The impression it leaves with the words "Long live the bureaucracy" is best described.
This draws the second day in Nepal to end and the Group Dinner may
