Kathmandu

We arrived in Kathmandu yesterday around noon and quickly got a taxi to our Guest house. I had expected the weather to be much cooler here but it was 25 degrees!! However, it got cooler towards the evening.
Nepal although a poorer country than India appears to be much cleaner.
The Guest house is off the main street and has a lovely garden with tables, chairs and soft cushions. Our room is massive, spotlessly clean and simply furnished. It has big Indian quits to throw over the bed during the night when the temperature drops. The bed is rock hard though!!!!
The streets here are narrow and winding with no pavements to walk on and you have to be constantly on guard for cycle rickshaws, motorbikes and the occasional car. They sell a multitude of hand knitted hats and socks, felted slippers and bags, fake mountaineering clothing and camping gear and trekking tours.
Today the weather is slightly cooler and Rob isn't well, it's either the beginning of a chest infection or something he's eaten. He usually comes down with something during our holidays!
