Ueber viele Stunden und noch mehr Nerven

Fri, 5 Oct 2007 | By baba | Views [789]

Haarscharf war das Timing mit meinem Pass. Gute 27 Stunden vor meiner Abreise konnte ich das gute Stueck (Danke den lieben Poestlern in Seuzi) wieder in Empfang nehmen. Mittlerweile war ich doch ganz schoen nervoes geworden, schliesslich reist's sich ... Read more >

Kathmandu!

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 | By mradventure | Views [1204] | Comments [7]

Wow, it's been 3 days and I'm already in love with the people here. This is one of the 10 poorest countries in the world, and yet the people still smile constantly. They are fans of my beard and Colbys muscles (aren't we all). The food is great, the ... Read more >

Kathmandu

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 | By phil | Views [997]

I'm still in Kathmandu and enjoying myself lots.  The only thing I would change about this place is the incessant up-the-arse tooting of every bastard on the road and those hawkers who attach themselves as would a second shadow.  Apart from that it's ... Read more >

Nepalgunj - back to the 'gunj

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 | By over-40 | Views [6871] | Comments [5]

We caught the local bus from Tansen down to Butwal, then changed at the bus park to a Nepalgunj bus with no trouble at all. This time the bus was smaller, so there was no room for goats or potatoes. We got to Nepalgunj without any 'banda' interruptions ... Read more >

We spent a few days in Tansen, Palpa district. Phil's tummy started feeling off on the bus from Kathmandu. Jenny had the bug a day later. So we ended up having 2 days rest on the hotel toilet after we got there. We stayed at the Srinigar Hotel on top ... Read more >

Leaning "god" of Jawalakhel

Sun, 8 Jul 2007 | By over-40 | Views [2197]

This is a tree on a cart. It is supposed to be/represent a god. As part of a yearly ceremony it was at Jawalakhel Chowk (intersection) for 4 days and had developed a lean. Somehow it survived the 4 days without toppling. At the end the Prime Minister ... Read more >

Swayambhunath Temple

Sat, 7 Jul 2007 | By over-40 | Views [1912]

We thought we had better do some sightseeing today. This temple is only a couple of kms to the west of the Thamel area in Kathmandu, so it was an easy walk. Not long after we arrived a group of 7 kids latched onto us. We thought they would be after the ... Read more >
