And safely returned…

  • Post comments:33 Comments

You’ll all be glad to know that Billi is now safely back in basecamp. Was great to see her this morning but I had to wait around 15 minutes as she kept on and on in front of the Discovery Channel camera. After its battery finally went flat, I got a chance to congratulate her and pass on some of your hugs.

Billi looks very well, if a bit skinny, and very, very happy. And how talkative!

You’ll all be glad to know that your next huge installment of wonderful stories will be delivered sometime tomorrow afternoon Nepal time.
