Nepal Trip I - Annapurna Base Camp

My first trek was in 27 September 2002. It's a last minute desicion... no planning, no training... just simply get a guide online, then book a ticket and flied off to Nepal. So, it is not a surprise to hear that I didn't enjoy the trip. It's only a 8 days trek, 2 days white water rafting and I was full of complaints about the hygene, the people, the guide...
Thinking back, this is all due to one person's fault. This person has made the trek so unpleasant for at least 2 person (the guide and the agent). The guide was questioned and detained by the local police, the agent travels all the way from Kathmandu to Pokhara just to check out what happen. This culprit is me!!!

Summit of Annapurna Base Camp

With the 2 'nature' trekking pole, a 500ml water bottle, a wind breaker and that little backpack, I made it to ABC... If I were to do any trekking for 8 days now, I don't think this little stuff is sufficient.

Right to Left: My guide, me and other summiters
My guide is the Hero Man of my whole ABC trek... I only understand this after a few years later.
