Nazeemah
Namaste ' Hello ' Cape Town. I was too tired to write anything last night, so here goes. We finally got to Lukla. The flight on a small plane with a runway of about 500m and flying extremely close to the mountains was surprisingly a smooth flight landing included. Pilots nothing short of the best skill. Day 1, as I landed, my brother who was on the 1st flight, was waiting for me as I'm walking down the steps of the plane, so sweet. He was extremely concern as it was getting late [after 11am] plus the weather was becoming a factor.
Altitude hit you as I was walking towards the meeting area, where the Nepalese made delicious veg chow-main. We started our trek immediately after lunch. Wow Lukla village was beautiful, lots of shops even though the majority sell the exact same product it appears that they all make endmeet. I saw the poorest people, the most primitive life, but I also observed that not only are they extremely friendly but helpful. Gosh the prettiest people I've ever seen.
As i'm treking and admire the beauty this trail has to offer, a river, that look Iike a lagoon and sounds like the ocean, wow wow wow......, so many things to mention. Like the tug I felt on my jacket , it was a little girl asking me for a sweet.As I was reaching in my pocket, I just saw small little kids holding out their hands. Naturally I fed them, but I guess I was just taking too long for one little boy who grabbed the packet out of my and and it was his turn to dish it out to his buddies.
