Early start as Hugo took us to the less touristy old quarter of Kathmandu. Lots of photo opportunities including people selling produce on the street. Followed by people desperately trying to sell us jewellery and strange little musical instruments. We ended up at Durbar Square enjoying the view of temples and general chaos below from a rooftop cafe.
A couple of observations on Kathmandu: there are regular power cuts here, due to a 'temporary energy crisis' which has been going on for years - it makes taking the hotel lift more exciting (I know, I should be using the stairs!)
Also, there are very few if any rules on the roads, and more pot holes than roads.
Dear Charlotte and Paul,
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying reading about your adventures and are extremely jealous. Paul great to see that mountaineer's physique honed to perfection. Why stop at the base camp?
Get the curries in.
