You can go to the Chinese base camp by motorbike but not the Nepal Everest Base Camp.

The bitterness of a Negroni compliments deserts so well.

Yeah, he's China side on a guided tour.
Cold and altitude sickness would be my greatest concerns.

 

[OZZYGUY]

Oh... I see now... he's going up by Motorbike.. not walking... didn't realise you could get to base camp by bike?

He is riding from CR

Altitude sickness to that hight is ok for most when you slowly climb to it over a few days.

When we went to 5000m 7 of us had no issues, one guy did.

 

[Quarky]

Knowing Gav it will be: Day 35... at Base Camp 4... strangely no other bikes...

I've been up the Jungfrau by train a couple of times to 3500m and was surprised to find out later that altitude sickness was an issue for some there.

When I went up, some of the others were quite unwell.. dizzy and breathless. And not who you might expect. Fat bastards seemed fine... some of the athletic guys were the ones struggling.

 

[OZZYGUY]

I rarely fly business but got a good deal with Cathay Pacific and work paid. Was looking forward to the food.

Was disappointed at first until the lamb came out....

Piccolo's steak sandwich

Was thinking

Easily in my top 5 sandwich in the world

Yep

The dorm at Lauterbrunnen.
I remember lying in bed looking straight up at one of those skylights and looking straight at that waterfalll.
I went back there 21 years after the Contiki trip and stayed in a cabin nearby.

Like a fairytale isn't it. Doesn't feel real... just magical.

 

[OZZYGUY]

Good morning from China...

Looking forward to the Cantonese food.

 

[OZZYGUY]

Frogs anyone ?

 

[Bacon]

^ They do them real well deep fried. I used to eat them all the time.

Not sure didn't order them.

Had pig intestine, fish eggs and bladder and something I didn't ask.

 

[Bacon]

I have a simple protocol.

If it smells and tastes good, I eat it.

So far so good.
