Hate to be contrary, but- Edmund Hillary was a New Zealander (KIWI!) and he was only 33 when he summited. Tenzig Norgay was 39 or 40. They were part of a British Expedition at the time, though. :)

...I have to say that last pic with it draped in golden colors is just breathtaking and i've never seen it look so decievingly wonderful. Now i want to be there in that beautiful countryside, in that little Cafe, ... after dinner overlooking that Gorgeous valley view while the sun sets.

Thank you very much , Yangdu!!

But I'm still not crazy or young enough anymore to even think about climbing that sucker....LMAO!

Sorry, I'd been up all night reading federal laws and such, I'd forgotten he was a Kiwi, and i didnt mean he was an old man when he summitted, but i guess it did sound that way. I do remember clearly though, in some documentary of his life, that he detested being called "Sir Edmund" and in deference and honor to the man i prefer to call him by the name he did prefer, even if i still add the sir....lol.

And Tenzig, He was 39, ya gotta admire a man who would attempt to summit that mountain over 7 times. like i said i'm not crazy enough to try it even once.
I prefer green grass, a peaceful valley and the only thing i like ice cold is a beer. I detest cold and snow at least until my blood gets thicker.

Any of you southern forumites that want to harbor a grumpy old fart for about 7 months or so, let me know, i can bring lotsa beer and my own sharp objects.
 
Boomerang Restaurant probably the best of the garden and cultural show places in central lakeside Pohara, Boomerang has a large, shady garden and cultural shows nightly from 7pm.

I remember that landscape well.

Also the deep and narrow canyon cutting through town.

The river dissappearing into a hole, to emerge later out the side of a canyon.

Paddling about the lake in a duggout canoe.

Thanks for the memories, Yangdu.
