Travel Day - Kathmandu to Kuala Lumpur

Bag’s packed, and we’re off again.
Today’s a travel day, so I dropped the key off at what looks like a bomb zone, but might be reception with the wallpapering nearly finished. What’s not finished is the paving outside: amateur job with dozens of lads apparently employed.
Had breakfast at a cheap place I’ve used before (photo) with chicken chow mien and milky tea (chai).
Taxi to airport - 500 N. Rupees (£3:30). Survived again!
This is a small, shabby but easy to use airport.
As I’ve managed to almost use up my rupees, lunch was a plate of ‘mo mo’ (warm dough parcels filled with chicken?) and milky tea.
Mo mo - 125-130 rupees = 50-60pence.
Milky tea - 25-30 rupees = 22-15pence.
Litre bottle water = 30 rupees.
Daylight robbery. I should feel guilty 😬
