Kapan

Yesterday morning, we were supposed to all have a day out in the town. Then, Malcolm got grumpy, which mixed us all up. After a while, Dad, Dale and I were on our way to Ratna Park, and Lara and grumpy Malcom were going to spend the day together. When we got to the park, it was actually pretty nice, with some ponds, trees, and benches. After we paid the 150 Rupee foreign entrance fee (about 1$/person, Dale was free), we went looking for a shady bench. Since all the shady benches were taken, we decided to stop under a big tree, with thick branches. Big mistake. We had been there for only a few seconds, when a pigeon that was hiding in the tree, poop-bombed all three of us in one shot! Dale got it on her hat, I got it on my shirt and in my hair, and Dad got it all over his face and sunglasses!!! 🐦💩💣🧢👚🕶🤢🤮
Then, we took some post-pigeon-poop pictures under an umbrella. Then we walked down some small, crowded streets of a local market, past the tiny Ganesh temple, with the ‘celestial fish(?)’. When we got into Thamel, the Kathmandu tourist area, we went to the Astrek climbing center, and did lots of bouldering, and some workouts. Then, we were on our way out to find a taxi back to our neighbor hood, and we spotted a tiny tea shop. The lady made us some golden tips tea, and we really liked it, so we bought 200g of tea for 2000 rupees (about 30$). Then we met Malcolm (not grumpy anymore) and Lara at a pizza place for some pizza.
