​We spent the morning in Nara Park, surrounded by deer and the overwhelming scale of the Todai-ji Temple. By evening, we reached Osaka. Walking through the bright, colorful districts here exceeded every expectation... The food, the lights, and the vibe are just incredible.

Trek to Kanchenjunga Basecamp part 3:

The weather changes quickly. Clouds fly in and some snowfall starts. On our way back we pass the other groups. As soon as they see us heading down they also start discussing and turn back some minutes later.

The small uphill sections during descent are pushing our limits. We feel the fatigue.

At 11:00 we reach the camp and are welcomed with a warm soup.

We are happy because it was a great day and we are back safe.

Trek to Kanchenjunga Basecamp part 2:

We are the first group today with two others following roughly one hour behind us. We are making good progress and can pass the landslide sections quickly.

Weather Forecast was sun until 12:00. It’s now 8:00 and dark clouds are flowing in. We have passed the old teahouse and estimate another 1:30 up to KBC.

We continue for 20 more min. Then it’s just one look. We are alone in a very remote area at 5089m. Lets turn back

Trek to Kanchenjunga Basecamp part 1:

We got up at 4:30 and started at 5. Beautiful Morning with some snowfall throughout the night. Both Steffi and me feel that we are close to 5000m. We agreed to go slowly but steady. The landscape is so beautiful.

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day9 For my current WIP, I want to have the draft 50% complete this year. I also want to write 24 blog posts, brainstorm 6 future story ideas, write 2 poems/month, plus keep journaling. Too much? Not enough?

Day 9's wee bottle was Glenfiddich's 23 year old, 40% ABV Grand Cru, which has shown up in two previous calendars. Matured in ex-bourbon American oak, European oak, and French Champagne cuvée casks. Apples, pears, and caramel on the nose; honey, ginger, and shortbread on the palate; more pear and the oak on the finish. Bourbon-y but with wine and oak.
