After an early start on my bike to avoid rush hour traffic I made it to Monkey Temple, awesome! Beautiful views over Kathmandu, monkeys running around, peace flags flying, incense buring, people praying and bells ringing..all before 7am.
Then the ride around Kathmandu area. Cycling in Kathmandu at first was daunting, but one you understand that though it may look like there is no order, there actually is. Weaving in and out of the traffic and going with the flow, everything looks out for everything else (apart from bloody busses but I think this is global- it made me think of you Steve and the Southampton busses!).
I'm not sure which is drawing more attention, the white, blond girl on the bike or the fact that I am wearing a cycle helmet as mine is the only one I have seen! It has been commented on by some Nepalese kids that it looks very pretty!
Tommorrow I start early and aim to make it to Mugling, roughy 120km.
BRING IT ON!!
