The call of nature

We have encountered many different toilets since we left the UK, as I am sure you can imagine (but probably don't want to).

The most amusing by far though (to us at least), were the ones we encountered while trekking over the last few days. From the outside these toilets appear to be small garden sheds.

When you step inside, there is a hole in the floor, and next to this hole, a neat pile of leaves. I was relieved, upon seeing these, that I had taken my own toilet paper. But I realised what they were actually for when I read the polite sign on the back of the door asking: 'after using, please put leafs (sic)' which made me laugh so much I nearly fell down the hole.

Bye! We're off to hunt for the Yeti...

We're off bright and early tomorrow morning to catch our second Yeti Airways flight, this time to the tiny mountain village of Lukla where we will begin our 6 day trek through the Everest region.

Needless to say, we're both very excited about this. It's by far and away the longest trek I will have done - I just hope I'm up to it! Ha - if I can do Walk the Wight three years in a row I can handle anything!

We'll be out of touch now until next Wednesday but hope to return with some pretty amazing photographs so watch this space.......
