The road from Kathmandu ends here, and beyond this outpost there are only footpaths, tiny villages and high-alpine routes used by expeditions for the past seventy-five years.

You have to watch breath, simply observe it ...

... meditation. I imagine that too will have its own set of challenges, and wonder, and awe. Perhaps not as much in the outwardly impressive nature, but in the quiet, powerful and internal kind. Wow – I have no idea what this will be like – living with monks, one meal a day and NO TALKING!! Yikes!

We then could not resist more Bollywood & got to the movies in Patan - London Dreams - plot not hard to follow & based on a musician achieving & losing his dreams of fame in London & playing at Wembley.

We then spent the next day topping up on essentials at the supermarket and having a good mose round the shops with all their different things on offer, everyone trying to sell us something at a better price than the next!!!!! Great fun!!!

... 32-J and there is a little bald man in orange robes sitting in my seat. I'm sure that this man of simple experiences must be somehow confused as to how this works, so i offer to look at his ticket for him, 32-I, he should be in the middle seat, he says "thank you" and goes back to looking out the window. I sense that this is not going to go in my favor, luckily, no one shows up for the aisle seat so I at least don't have to sit ...

Our last night in Kathmandu was spent catching up with the Ozbus crew, who had just arrived. We were all interested to see how they were coping, as ...

Tuesday I finally got off my lazy butt and did some sightseeing. First I went to Bodnath, a very big Buddhist stupa, which is a big dome that they say has relics inside.
