As i hoped, everything was ridiculously easy after leaving the airport - although i did have to board the flight I had just left due to my incompetence in whiskey remembrance ( i left it on the plane :(.... but i got it back and am drinking it now :)
I'm staying in Thamel, central tourist Kathmandu in a guesthouse called 'The Pilgrim's Garden' - it lives up to its name ! Tranquil with monkey statues littering the courtyard, needless to say; I haven't left!
I made the same mistake Harry, Max and I made in Japan... I thought I ordered Nepali food for my first meal in Nepal but it turned out to be Indian, they spell 'jalfrezi' differently here! But super cheap and I have plenty of time, and i managed to wham myself facilities with a slightly warm shower - its only going to go down hill from here :)
But for all those back in the gland who are wondering - yes it is hot here. =)
I'm not sure that I am back in "the gland", but it is gloomy here.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear of your safe arrival and first steps. Hope you are breathing good high altitude oxygen now, rather than the gasses of the passenger in front.... made me laugh though xxxx
