Day 24 - Saturday, March 16 - Everest Flight- KTM to Delhi
Rise at 5:30 to leave at 6 to catch a Yeti Air flight out to Mt. Everest and back in a JetStream 41. Our guide, "Cheese", made sure we had seats in the back so the wing would not obscure our view. They only sold the window seats so everyone had a prime view… either on the way out or on the way back. The stewardess went up and down the aisle helping people match the mountains to the map/photo. And, she invited each in turn to go to the flight deck for a pilot's view. Wonderfully clear day yet probably not one of the many photos will capture the feeling. The whole adventure only took about an hour and a half and we were back at the hotel for breakfast by 8:30.
We re-combobulated our suitcases, I took second dose of the Z Pack and we checked out. Steve is so smart to bring an antibiotic. Relief.
Our flight back to Delhi is delayed from 3:40 pm to 4:55 pm. We see a Air Bus being filled with UN supplies and Nepalese soldiers with UN blue berets.
We almost miss the flight... they never posted the gate number of announced the flight. We had been sent to the wrong gate. Dan went around to check on it and they told him it was boarding... get in line quick. Why was it not posted on the screens? Oh well, nobody pays any attention to those.
