I found myself this morning setting off for an urban adventure, seeing as there are no mountains to climb and the strikes have been lifted. Found what I was looking for at Patan Durbar Square - one of the old parts of the city and apparently quite nice. I am a pretty bad tourist when it comes to looking at buildings so I did the mandatory round snapping some pics and then found a shady spot and read my book...
This was the most happening spot in the whole place and I wanted to get down there and join the queue just for a chance to play in the water!
Scooters come a close second after the importance of temples...
Kathmandu tempo fleet which always remind me of that episode of Mr Bean where the 3 wheeler van has to reverse into the parking building and then falls over...I haven't figured out how these babies work but they are always packed out and all you can see is odd limbs here and there squashed in!
Market on the corner - need a rainbow umbrella if you want to join!
Have just been to a tibetian paper shop whcih was INCREDIBLE!!! Got myself some sweet paper :)
Am back home now - off to have a siesta and finish my book me thinks! Have talked to home (happy birthday Ben!) and am feeling happy. Am increasingly excited about hitting SE Asia by bicycle soon with Miss Amber and am already planning some epic ginga domination activities! ALL the kiwis I have met here have red hair so everyone seems to think all kiwis are redheads....:)
