 Perhaps it's necessary more time and more space for crazy ideas that for absolutely brilliant projects. And this of "the highest blog in the world" looks more like a crazy idea that a stroke of genius. In any case, the countdown for the departure begins. The scheduled plan is: to start next August 28 from Malpensa for the classic Milan-Doha-Kathmandu. Then, a little stop in Kathamndu in Nepal to fix some technical and logistical aspects and even humans (as it were). Afterward we'll crossing the border with Tibet by land, with the days needed to acclimatise our body and our mind to live over 13.000 feet of altitude, where the air is thin. Very thin. Later on we'll approach our first, real destination: the Advanced Base Camp of Cho Oyu, at an altitude of 18.700 feet. That will be my home for a month. A house made of tents, rocks, snow and yaks. (no Yeti, please) From there, we will try to bring up, as high as possible, even the 'digital life', with: - the highest "post" in the world. - Skype, Twitter etc. in the sky, nearly at eight thousand metres. Cross your fingers. Our is already crossed. |
