German/Swiss Everest 2002 Expedition

4/6/2002 Tomorrow the expedition starts towards the Chinese border ...

NEVER ENDING STORY: The problems with the gas cartridges continue. According to the Cargo-Office of Kathmandu airport the gas hasn't arrived yet. Because of this the expedition-team phoned their forwarding agency in Switzerland on Friday. Thai-Switzerland said that the gas is already in Kathmandu since Friday, 1:15 pm (local time). Today - Saturday - all offices are closed. Tomorrow they' re going to search the gas at the airport. In case they don't find it, they have to buy new gas cartridges in Kathmandu.

READY TO START: Yesterday they received the Visas for People' s Republic of China. Tomorrow afternoon the expedition starts towards the Chinese border. They expect to spend the night in Kodari (Nepal-Side), pass the border on April 8 and drive to Nyalam.

TEAM-SPIRIT: Today the expedition-team had a massage. They' re going to spend their last evening in Kathmandu.
