We returned to Kathmandu to submit our request for the Visa to India, get a trekking permit or TIMS card, extra lithium batteries for the water sterilizer, 1 more warm layer for everyone and buy a camera as our one finally died after 8 glorious years.
So it was a few days of busy city taxi rides, lists, decisions. A complete contrast to the sleepy village we had come from.
The trip back to Kathmandu was somewhat Nepali style, 30 of us in a Toyota Hi Ace jumbo van for 7 hours, with Tara and Luke on our knees. The driver was careful but we didn't get into Kathmandu until 9pm where we got a taxi to where we wanted to stay The Lotus Guest House at Boudhanath only to be told sorry we are full, not even a couch!
My heart sank, everything was closed, streets deserted, we hadn't had dinner.
luckily some lovely Monk's decided to help us and found the Pema Guest House which had a 2 bedroom room for the night. Cost was 800 rps a night for the double room. It was such a lovely place to relax amongst the monks we stayed an extra day to enjoy before the next mission bus ride to the langtang region to go trekking.
So until we return we will be off the internet grid, we expect to be back in 2 to 3 weeks.
While driving in heavy traffic. The driver isn't even looking at the road!!
