day 2 was supposed to begin with a short 30 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the starting point of the Everest Base Camp Trek.
Lukla Airport has a very short airstrip and has been called the most dangerous airport in the world. weather conditions in the mountains change very rapidly, with fierce winds and poor visibility. this is the cause of frequent deadly accidents at Lukla Airport.
we had a taste of mountain weather today. all flights to Lukla were cancelled or turned back. we had to go back to the hotel and try again tomorrow.
were we disappointed? of course. but we still have tomorrow, and the day after, or even next year. we can always come back to Nepal.
for children with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, they won't see the end of their journey. tomorrow may never come. for them, it's not about disappointment. it's about making the best with what they have.
don't be disappointed. be happy. #bcc
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." - Sir Winston Churchill
