Days 17 and 18 - Kathmandu, Nepal

Days 17 and 18 - Kathmandu, Nepal

It's difficult to walk a metre without being harassed by someone wanting to sell something. Whether its a taxi or rickshaw ride, shop goods, musical instruments or drugs they all have a unique speal.
We changed hotels today and I write this lying in a pool of sweat as there is no air conditioner nor fan in our room. I'd pay good money for just a gentle breeze but a cold shower will have to suffice.
Visited Durbur Square - the old city with many temples dating back to the 11th century. One was destroyed in the 2015 earthquake that killed almost 10000 people. Repairs to ancient temples are still continuing.
We then visited Bhaktapur with an amazing wood carved palace in Durbur Sqaure. Next to visit the Bodhnath Stupa which is the largest Buddist Stupa I'm the world. A very busy day.
