Day 2 - Everest, Nepal

The second day started with a completely unplanned trip to Mount Everest.  Although we are three strong lads (although slightly questionable with our recent workout routines), we decided against climbing the mountain.  Instead, we took the easy route and hopped onto a 7 AM mountain flight and saw Everest by air.  It was an absolute awe-inspiring flight!  It was overcast but we were able to break out of the clouds long enough to see the massive peak.  And the cherry on top was getting to see it from the cockpit!

After returning, we completed the remainder of our walking tour.  This time we ventured to Durbar square and once again, we saw lots of courtyard and temples.  We finally settled to have lunch on Freak Street (named so by the locals since there are numerous foreigner hippy "freaks" in this part of the city).  Once again, we braved the Nepali food and once again we were disappointed.  This time the food was way too bland.  The remainder of the day got washed away by the monsoon rains so I sat indoors and caught up on writing up a few posts for this very blog.
