It’s Wednesday! Which means we’re half-way through the week, Lost is on tonight, and of course we get a new episode of The Rest of Everest which has returned to regular shows again following the brief hiatus while Jon went back to Tibet.
This episode is entitled Episode 43: 20,000 Leagues Above The Sea. Jon spends much of the episode in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines camp and we get to see what life is like for other teams on Everest. As a military expedition, the team is well funded and equipped, not to mention well fed if the dinner scenes are to be believed. 🙂
However, their “military spec” computers failed at high altitude so Jon, and his trusty Mac Powerbook had to come to there rescue. Yeah, Apple stuff is just that good! I’m enjoying the return of the regular episodes and it’s fun to continue to see what life is like in BC. Of course, we all want to get on to the maincourse, which is the climb, but we see those aspects of Everest all the time. I like seeing the teams interact in the down time, and watching what life is like on a day to day basis as well.
Never fear though, the climb is coming. Jon remarks in the video that we’ll start to see more climbing in the coming weeks but for now, it’s all about life at Base Camp. After all, this is an “Unabridged Expedition Experience”.

Yo, I’m off to watch Lost on my Tivo. Best series on TV.
At least something actually HAPPENS on that show, unlike The Rest of Everest which has now highlighted toilets for two shows in a row…

What a suprise, we both watch Lost! 😉 And on Tivo no less. Greatest invention ever!
Everest toilets are just more interesting! 😉
