Day 2 Kathmandu

After meeting some of our fellow tour members at breakfast, along with Gools & Thommo, Michael & I went by ourselves into central Kathmandu, to the Thamali area.
The taxi ride in took about 45 mins & was crazy traffic the whole way!! Lots & lots of motor bikes & scooters, cars & buses, beeping, and cutting in 😲
We walked around the shopping area, buying some jackets (one for Ollie) from Outdoor wear shops.
We tried to find a walk suggested in the Lonely Planet book, but as we had no Google maps (until we used free wifi) it was hard to get our bearings.
We did eventually find a few things featured on the walk map. We also saw a festival celebration walking through the streets.
Like India, crazy traffic in the lane ways, and people asking us to buy things. But unlike the Indians, they are quite polite & don't usually persist when you say no.
After another crazy taxi ride back, we needed some quiet time to recover from the sensory overload!!
