Everest 2006: N. Ireland and England Everest 2006 Expedition: Left Nylam this morning and in Tinigiri now, seen Everest for the first time!

In bed in Nylam, thankfully we have decided to change hotels as the last one was a dump to put it mildly. This hotel is clean, warm & well, of low western standards, I think the final straw that broke the camels back in the other grotto was the rats, yes you have read correctly RAT's! Well after Adrian encountered his first rat that was it, time to go else where, now I was happy to stay don't get me wrong, but as a team player I decided it was best that accompanied the rest of group. Other news today is that Andy & Jonathan are feeling unwell, but are being well looked after, so please Sharon and Andy's family do not worry, it's nothing serious and hopefully they get better very soon.
Thanks to Kate for typing the last blog, and I would like to add Fergal & I really have had a cold/Flu what’s this rubbish about swaning around? Don't always believe that girl, do you think Fergal & I are hypochondriacs?
Anyway the dinner this evening was fantastic and probably the best we have had since arriving in Asia, its hard to believe that earlier today the same restaurant produced such a awful meal, different chef maybe?
For those who are interested the Breitling is performing brilliantly and working in two time zones, I might add. Thanks for asking.

Update: Left Nylam this morning and in Tinigiri now, seen everest for the first time!. Everyone keeping well.
