Apple pie and yoghurt

When I'd done my 10,000 steps, I treated myself to a slice of apple pie from the Snowman Cafe, another Lonely Planet recommendation. This restaurant was one of the first to open in Freak Street in the 1960s. It has been an institution for hippies and backpackers for decades. It is still owned and operated by the same guy. His homemade apple pie is legendary, but I found it really disappointing. It was heavily flavoured with cloves, which made it taste rather medicinal. Each to their own, I suppose.

On my way back to my hotel, I bought some local fermented yoghurt. I love that it's sold in the terracotta pots that its made in. I'm going to miss it when I'm back in India.

We had some rain this evening, but it was still warm. I opened my windows and took in the sights and sounds of central Kathmandu - another thing I'm going to miss!Read more
