Crazy for Kathmandu

Never a dull day

One happy boy!
Nepal – what can I say!  This was yet another wonderful experience to follow on from those great days in Delhi.  Although I did stitch – very occasionally – most of my time was spent discovering the delights of this amazing country.  If I had a day free, then I would catch a cab into old Kathmandu and walk my socks off.  Even in my local neighbourhood, there was always something happening and usually all five senses beat the drum at once! 

Our favourite activity was without doubt running (or in my case – walking with Mr Monty) with the Himalayan HH Harriers.  We would meet every Saturday, usually in different locations in the Kathmandu valley, and get a real taste for local life...err, and the beer! 

Somehow it seems unfair to devote only a few lines to Nepal but I really didn’t manage to start any new projects.  The experience of Kathmandu plus our many travels through this magnificent country rounded out quite an amazing experience in this region.   So it was with some misgiving, we prepared to leave for a life back home in Australia.  Hampered of course, by a broken leg….

It isn’t my intention to discuss our travel adventures here – that’s for Textile Tourist.  However, don’t hold your breath as it takes quite some resolve to commit to all that research, recording and photo searching/saving.  And there’s quite a lot to say!  But it will happen…..
