Robs better now so today we caught a taxi to the Immigration office we needed to extend our Nepalis visas for an extra week to include our trek into the mountains next week. It was a bit tricky but we managed it in the end! Sadly I haven't been able to download any photos recently because there are lots of power cuts here and I have to grab the Internet when I can. It leaves little time for downloading pictures as there are always a lot of people waiting to use the Internet.
After we visited Immigration we took another taxi to Durber square. It is a massive complex of 16th and 17th century Hindu temples and Royal palaces. It was an extraordinary place. We saw a living child goddess. (she was around 5 yrs old. The guide told us she was selected to be the living goddess from an ancient family line. It was very interesting. Unfortunately no photographs were allowed to be taken of her.
Tomorrow we catch the early morning bus to Phokera from there we intend to organise our trek an the Annapurna circuit.
