Jan 01 | First day of the new year in Kathmandu

Simone-Miss Hawley-Denis Yesterday I arrived here in Kathmandu few hours before the new year and at midnight I was in my hotel room working at Pc…. Denis and Nima Nuru (chief of Cho Oyu trekking) pick me at the airport and after drove me at the Yak and Yeti hotel, we went to eat a good pizza to Fire and Ice Restaurant. There were 24 hours that I was travelling and I had a long wait in the Doha airport and I was dreaming for a nice sleep but when I came back in the hotel I started to work at my laptop and I stopped around 2 am. So at midnight I was not doing party, but working for my coming winter dream…

Miss Hawley and Simone with new book Today it had been a very busy day. I wake up very early and after breakfast I meet Miss Hawley, the famous old lady (journalist) that since 1983 is following, doing interview and recording all the expedition in Himalaya. It had been as usual a nice meeting and I gave her present my new book about all the 8000 meters peak history with all the photos, all the faces and all routes of the 14 peaks above 8000 meters. I had been proud to receive her appreciation and congratulations. She was surprised about my job for that book When I finished that meeting I went to Nima’s office talking about the logistic and the detailed costs of all the expedition. Than we went to ministry of tourism doing the briefing  (and waiting 2 hours before to start that meeting). Than again to Nima’s office preparing all the climbing equipment, food and base camp equipment. Tomorrow all those equipment will fly to Tumlingtar and Jagat Limbu (my cook and sirdar) will start to trek to base camp together his assistant Mingma and around 40 porters. I and Denis will stay one day more here in Kathmandu and than we will fly in Everest region to trek and  have 2 weeks acclimatisation program.
