Mount Everest/Kathmandu 22 February 2009

Early start (natch - do you detect a theme developing here?) for our Buddha Air flight to see Mount Everest up close - or at least as close as I ever want to get (Mark). The plane was even tinier than the day before but the flight was mercifully smooth as we were much higher than the day before.

On landing we were dropped off at the Boudha Stupa after which we haggled for taxis back to the hotel - 250 Nepali Rupees ( approx. £2.25) the eventual price for a cross town ride.
Using the Lonely Planet as a guide we explored the older part of Kathmandu eventually finding the Kumari Bahal - home of Nepal's living goddess - in Durbar Square.
Rounded the day off with another swim in the hotel pool and dinner at the same place we found on the first night.
