So, I tried Qatar Airways for this trip to Kathmandu and have got as far as the lounge in deserty Doha. Always a joy to land somewhere at 3.15am UK time, cheeeeeers. All majorly beige as you come in to land, that'll be the endless sand then. Makes Dubai look variegated…
But all is suitably la-la here in the Lounge, apart from the silent armies of Burkha-clad formidable females. One with a particularly Hannibal Lector-esque face grill, shiny golden of course, remained a mystery as I tried to catch a glimpse of how she actually put food in her burkha-barred mouth…
Next flight will deposit me in Kathmandu, to meet my guide for the next two days. Here's hoping there's not too strong a niff of BO in the car, and that if there is, it is at least, not coming from me….

Good luck with it all. Rather you than me. Once you’ve knocked off the sacred 100, why not try going somewhere….nice? Just for a change? Us, we’re looking forward to 13 years of French campsites once Lily turns 5 and gets locked into Official School Hols. Here’s hoping it doesn’t mean 13 years of traditional Frog-bogs, eh?
