(one of the newer side streets)
We are now in Kathmandu, Nepal. It's an interesting, noisy, polluted but friendly place. Our arrival yesterday was yesterday with one of us having to accompany our transfer driver (Raj) out of the airport complex and back in with his car - security was that tight.
Being driven to the hotel meant we could take in the sights and sounds of Kathmandu. For our 30 min drive we have concluded that everyone drives with their horns blaring down the narrow streets, motorbikes are a law onto themselves but our hotel is a welcome rest.
With the vaccinations of last week kicking in, we are fighting off colds (it might be from the skiing but I don't think so -they started before that). I've also suffered aches and pains (definitely from the skiing) but we shall struggle on. We hope to see Mount Everest in the next day or two, today was bliss with nowhere specific to go, no alarm was needed. Most of the day was relaxed, reading in the hotel but tonight, like last night we explore.

From watching Top Gear I believe you can get a motorbike built to your own spec in Kathmandu,I'll have a wee monkey bike please,it's about the same weight as you left us to bring home from africa. Thats some snow slope in Dubai,only the arabs could think of that one.They will probaly enter the olympics just like the Jamician bobsleigh team. I thought you both left the cold weather behind?
