Shaken, sad but safe.

Just wanted to quickly let people know that we were not in Nepal when the earthquake hit although 4 other members of the group were. They are unhurt but have no food, little water and are desperately trying to get flights out ASAP. Please keep your fingers crossed for them to get home safely. We got to Bangkok and heard the news. Have just returned to Australia today.

My adventure was not to be this time but our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this terrible event. Mother Nature is definitely in control and as we know life can take a turn for the worst without any good reason. At the end of the day you can be lying in bed and have a tree come crashing through the roof. Bad things happen but we cannot let fear limit our lives. I hope that one day in the future I will get to trek in the Himilayas. It is a beautiful part of this world and this was the worst earthquake in the region for 80 years. Just one of those things.

Thanks for all the messages. Just glad to be safe and hoping that soon all our friends will be too. Deanne xxx
