Month: October 2017

We slept well on our first night at Shangrila. Rikzin and Kushiman greeted us when we came out of our room and quickly delivered our coffee and breakfast.  It was cloudy and misty so we did not have great views of Fishtail.  I had oatmeal and Wayne had an omelette and we split some Tibetan…

The next morning the sky was crystal clear so Wayne went down to Lake Phewa while it was still dark to watch the sunrise. He brought his drone so he could practice flying it.  I stayed at the hotel and went out to the balcony with my coffee to watch the sunrise over the Annapurna…

October 26, 2017 – The flight to Dubai was uneventful. Emirates Airlines is pretty awesome. They kept us fed and were very nice to move us when I noticed that my seat was missing the recline button. We moved to bulk head seats and were able to stretch out and stand to walk around a…
