Across the border from Nepal to Tibet and after a few days of dusty, spluttery driving and the occasional ghastly acclimatisation walk, we're in base camp. It's a beautiful spot with the peaks of Cho Oyu and other sacred mountains encircling us. We are on the path that the Dalai Lama used to escape Chinese occupied Tibet.
This morning we awoke to the tinkle of yak bells and were inspired to take a shriekingly cold bath in the nearby lake.
We wish the other Lipsticks, Carole, Kath, Lou, Inga and Alison were here with us to join in the base camp frisbee, the gossip and the ridiculous ten minute argument about the exact time and the communal time setting.
We appear to be having an amazing little window on what boys actually talk about amongst themselves - fascinating...!
