Hi Everyone! I have finally found an internet cafe that seems to have a decent connection. This will be a brief update as I am just about to boad a plane to Pokhara for the beginning of our trek. Kathmandu is fantastic, I am having such a great time. Crazy drivers, lots of holy cows and dogs everywere! Not sure if they are holy too! We went and checked out a Buddhist Stupa yesterday and had a wander round some shops as well as a Hindu temple were we dodged holy men, street sellers and monkeys! We also witnessed the beginnings of a cremation ceremony.
My room mate and I went to a local restaurant for lunch, which was great, yummy momo's! We also had an earthquake here yesterday. No damage, but it was pretty substantial!!!
The accomodation at the Radisson was luxury, but I am looking forward to camping in the forrest. That is going to be awesome!!!
Well, I had best get moving so my flight dosen't go without me, it's a long walk to Pokhara and I think there are a few hills between here and there!!!!
I'll be out of communication for a bit over a week now, so don't fret, I am safe and sound in the mountains!!!!
Love Annie
