This is the end
As you might have noticed, we didn't have a lot of stories to tell here lately. The Himlung expedition is over, we are all back home & back to work and - yep - thinking about our next summit to conquer. Who knows... maybe you'll hear from us soon.
Meanwhile, thanks for clicking & supporting us (mail- & guestbookwise)!
Ciao!

Look @ us!
Yesterday, we had a party in the Rum Doodle, the restaurant for mountaineers and climbers. We left our signature on the Everest wall. Yihaa!
And we took a photo of the group. You shud see us. Our cheeks, our beards, our hair, our weight...! >>>Go check the pictures

This is it
Voila, this is it. Over and out. This morning (thursday), we took a plane (?) from Jomosom to Kathmandu. halalujah. And here we are! Strange to be back in the noisy, stinky city, after spending almost one month in the middle of nowhere.
And then there is the good news: we've had our shower. A cold water one, but yeah, who are we to complain...?

Our last trekking to Tilicho was really beautiful, but icecold and we had this icy wind.
Yesterday, on our last expedition day, we had the traditional goodby-party with the sherpas. We spiced it up with rakshi (local drink), brandy and more of local brewery. And not everybody felt better afterwards ;-)

This morning, we went to visit Yannic. Nice to see him again!
And as we speak, aka now, Davy and Kris are running to the ministry of moutaineering for a debriefing and to pick up our diplomas (!?! yihaaa!)

Anyway, we hope that the flight back will cause us less trouble than our flight in. If everything goes as planned, we're back in Belgium on sunday around noon!

And now for something completely different: where is that bar? where is that resto? who is throwing the next party? ;-)


It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
