Great to hear from you this morning Stu, and that you are still having a wonderful time - what a coincidence you were visiting the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute as Sir Edmund Hillary died, and the grave of Tensung Norgay (don't know if spelt right!!)
Love your latest photos
Keep in touch, take care
Love Mum
