We have arrived in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. As soon as we arrived we ran into our nemesis that we made in Pokhara, so we switched guest houses. For more info you can ask us about it when we are home. This morning we got our Indian visas handed in after quite a frustrating process that frankly made us never want to return to India, ever. But enough of the bad stuff, and on to the positive.
Today is Holi, the national celebration of Spring! People flock to the streets to throw water and different coloured powder all over each other and shout “Happy Holi!”
DawnO was fortunate not to get bombed but I took it in the face a few times.
We also took a taxi to Swayambhunath which is a Bhuddhist temple that sits on top of a large hill that overlooks the entire city. This “monkey temple” has a lot of beautiful buildings that I’m sure have a lot of interesting and important history, but I like my blogs like I like my reading books… full of pictures.
