We made it to Katmandu at around midnight, after a very long day in airports and on flights.
We’re not sure if it was exposure to thousands of people, airline food, or just Delhi making its mark, but we were all taken out by some kind of bug. Not the best way to spend the day, but today I was grateful for a clean hotel, western toilets, and a day without any formal plans!
We ventured out for a short time in the afternoon to grab some warm clothes. Everyone had told us that Kathmandu is a haven for trekking gear, and they were right… every second shop sells piles of ‘North Face’ jackets and bags. In between, shops sell cashmere and silk wraps, but I didn’t dare pull out a lighter to confirm the quality.
Kathmandu was busy with cars, bikes, and hikers, and we enjoyed the relatively fresh air and calm. I managed to capture these couple of pics with hills in the distance, but the will be nothing compared to our views for the coming days.
You know it must have been bad when the sum total of all the photos we took for the day make it into the blog, and both were taken by me – there wasn’t even a GFP! Instead, I’ll use this GFP from Hanoi on Christmas Day 2012. How cute are those two little girls in the middle!?!?

PS… 24 hours later, and we’re all improving. We have set off on our Kathmandu tour, and wifi is pretty sketchy, so don’t worry if it’s a while between posts!
