Kathmandu, Nepal 19/3/08


Hello from Nepal!


Arrived to find Kathmandu is bright, sunny and very warm. Not quite what we were expecting. Kathmandu is a bit like a skiing village.


Both had really lovely steak dinner which was great.


We love Nepal!


Wandered around Kathmandu for a couple of days and checked our Durbar Square which is the historical part of town and is a world heritage site.


There are lots of people throwing water bombs off the roofs of the buildings in preparation for the Holi Festival which is tomorrow (tomorrow they also throw paint). Linda got very wet as they seem to delight in targeting the western women. And they hurt when they hit you!


Stayed in on the actual day of the Holi Festival until late evening and just watched the mayhem from our hotel. Saw some great sights. Lots of multicoloured people wandering around!
