Back in the mountains trying to arrange a trip to a place 30 kms or so outside the city to go and see the Himalayas
Went into Durbar Square this morning: lots of temples but it was traffic dodging time as there were scooters, bikes and cars whizzing in and out and in between the temples - very difficult to take photos when you have one eye on the traffic so you dont get run over!
So far Kathmandu is fab, it's not too cold during the day but at night the temperature does drop. Had to go shopping yesterday to get a few more layers for here and Bhutan. And yes it is shopping heaven here - if you avoid the tourist tack. I am having a major problem with all the bookshops - there are so many beautiful photo books to buy - I am seriously considering investigating shipping costs!
Food is great - the most difficult decision for today will be what do I eat tonight - Nepalese, Thai or pizza?
And those not already informed the cake count is back up and rising,,,,,,
OK for your delight and delictation here the first Nepal photos
