2nd day

Apparently, I can only upload a little at a time; therefore, the first week will have to be split into numerous posts. It's only taken me an hour and a half to figure out.

Second day

Today me and Mahendra were due to travel to Pokhora but because of the Banda we couldn’t. Also Amy was not meant to be staying at the hotel but instead travelling to Saptagandaki orphanage but as no-one was at the airport to collect her we took her with us, eventually someone came to collect her from the hotel, but it took most of the day. I’ve spoken to her since and she has settled in well and all is going OK. So after seeing Amy off we went to have my first Daal Baat, which is rice with curried lentils and different combinations of vegetables and pickles. It tastes amazing.

That night we stayed with some of Mahendra’s family in the north (I think) of Kathmandu and spent the evening on the roof with his family and neighbours drinking some roksi (a kind of rice wine, but I feel a much higher percentage than normal wine).  From the roof you could see part of the Kathmandu valley, which is stunning, although I forgot to get a picture; however, I may get another chance later on.
