Day 70 - May 17 - In Kathmandu

Woke up after a long Slumber. Walk around in search of travel guide and map. Everything is kinda expensive here. Prolly because i am put up the tourists area. The streets full of activities and see plenty of tourists and backpackers. Either side of the road filled with all kinds of Tourists related shops. cybercafes, book stores, trekking expeditions, mountain gear, suvaneers, hotels, bars, etc you get the point. Lot of hoardings out stretching each other. But its a total freak out place provided one know what to do.

Thought of taking my bike around for a spin in the evening, but not many peaceful areas. Plus there was a demonstration in the open areas of the town, hundreds and thousands of people and to avoid and go to other places have to take the busy galli routes. So just went back to the hotel and resorted to walking.

My dad's coming over to visit me and will be a couple of day's break from riding.
