Upon our return to Kathmandu we decided that since we survived the Rhino incident, we might as well continue to push our luck as much as possible:  We decided that it was a good idea to take an hour long flight in a propeller plane that looked like it was older than both of us.

Packed in with a bus load of our fellow Japanese tourists, we held our breath as the plane took off and struggled to figure out the dinosaurs that were the seat belt mechanisms.  Seriously, the thing had teeth and a few levers.

But hey! We got to see Mount Everest.

It made the terror totally worth it.

Once our feet was firmly on the ground and after kissing the ground, we took off with our guide Isowar for a three town tour…but that’s a story for tomorrow.
