Around Kathmandu

Dec 3

Sunshine and maybe there are mountains over there?  The G-Adventures tour officially ended yesterday, and as it turned out all of us also opted for the Everest Flightseeing trip. So we enjoyed one more pre-sunrise meet-up and bus ride. We got to the Kathmandu domestic airport and waited for our flight - which is designated as Mountain in the destination column. It was a fun flight, pretty good views of the Himalayas in general. On the return to Kathmandu they serve champagne to celebrate and hand out certificates. This subcontinent has a thing for certificates- I might need to bring that back to Canada. I have a couple more days in Kathmandu, so this afternoon with a couple others from G-Adventures still here, we checked out Garden of Dreams and parts of Thames, then we watched the movie Everest (😬). Kathmandu is a bit hard to read in terms of entertainment and things to do that don’t involve a vehicle. Today was the first day since before I left Canada that didn’t involve a motorized vehicle?!?  Might check out the infamous Nepal Royal palace tomorrow and likely some more coffee shops and bakeries 😊. 

Getting into our flight - Yeti Airlines. 

Photo of a photo through the window... I mean I could post of real one, but this is so much better. 

One last group photo. 

See a certificate and champagne (really early in the morning). 

Cheers. 

Dinner last night at the Third Eye - so delicious.
