We got into Kathmandu in the early afternoon and got our rooms after a short wait. The rooms weren’t anything special but it was nice to stop moving after the 6 or 7-hour ride through the mountains. It wasn’t long afterwards that we all joined up again to go to a coffee shop for some internet and light lunch. I can’t speak for anyone else on the tour but it was really nice at the shop. It was open on one side, the sun was warm, and the Internet was free, which always makes things better.

We decided to head to a temple on the far side of the city which has a great view of Kathmandu. I’m not that interested in temples as anyone who has read some of the blogs from my other trips would know, but I do appreciate both the age and significance of them to their followers. The temples on this trip have an added benefit of having monkeys wandering around, and if you’ve ever been around monkeys you’ll know how photogenic they are. Always a great photo opportunity when monkeys are playing.

From the temple we all kind of split up some went to do some shopping others went back to the hotel. I went back to the hotel with two others. For dinner we all met and went to a Western style pizza place. Nice place and good pizza.
