Kathmandu

31 today and I don't feel a day over 30!!

I treated myself yesterday by buying a guitar (30 quid) and attending a football match in the British Gurkha Cup at the Nepal national stadium (90p for two matches) today I will be mostly chilling out!

Anyway back to the travels:

Kathmandu is a crazy busy city, its certainly a different experience compared with Tibet! The main tourist of town (Thamel) is full of shops, bars and restaurants aiming at westerners. But if you walk 10 minutes away from this area you don't see a western face. Very strange how people visit a place then never try to actually see it!

Later today I'm going to head own to the old part of Kathmandu to see the mixture of original Buddhist and Hindu temples.

Further plans for Nepal include 3 days rafting and a short trek.... If I can tare myself away from Kathmandu!!
