Namaste; Hi from Kathmandu!
We arrived yesterday, safe and sound, at the Kathmandu Guesthouse
in Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal :)
Although we did suffer a few mishaps along the way,
including a worrying problem with the flight bookings, along with Dave and
Wilco getting lost in the airport at Dubai! They went through the wrong exit,
passed through immigration, and ended up going in to the city to view the Burj Khalifa
instead of hanging out in the transit lounge for eight hours with me. I’d call
that a lucky mishap!
We spent our first day exploring cool Kathmandu on foot in
glorious sunshine and managed to purchase our trekking permits and bus tickets
along the way. It is so nice to back in the melee of Asia once again.
We ate great local food; the Chilli Chicken Mo Mo is
particularly fine and the local beer is very nice too!
We have a very early start for the bus tomorrow; Dave didn’t
realise that you could actually get out of bed at 04.45am! We have a long day
on the bus; the guy at the ticket office says it is six hours so that usually
means at least ten! :D
We are looking forward to getting to Jiri now and getting
started on the trek.
See you soon
