Kathmandu

So, I made it to Kathmandu! The flight(s) went well, and it didn't take as long as I feared, even with the 6 hour stopover in Dehli. On the flight from Frankfurt I got the whole seatrow to myself, so that was great, I even got some decent sleep. In Dehli I met a couple of nice girls who were on the same flight as me to Kathmandu, so we hung out together while waiting.

Kathmandu is a bustling city, lots of people and lots of noise. It's got its beauty though, yesterday I was just walking around exploring by myself and thought "hmm, should I go any further down this street?" and then decided to go to the next junction before turning around. So I started walking and glanced down a sidestreet and there was this beautiful stupa (temple-thingy)! It was gorgeous, with lots and lots of prayerflags hanging off it. I found another one today, on top of a hill (sooo many steps going up!! But totally worth it.) and that to had loads of prayerflags all over the place. I love them, they are so pretty.

This morning I met the rest of the group, and they seem nice. We're 17 people plus a couple of crew. One other Norwegian girl, Irish, Americans, English and a girl from South Africa. I haven't gotten to talk to all of them yet, but we're going out for dinner tonight so hopefully we'll all get to know each other a little better then.

It's strange being here today as it's the 17th of May which is Norways national day, so Gratulerer med dagen all of you! :)

Leaving Kathmandu tomorrow and heading north. Don't quite know when I'll be able to update next or upload photos but we'll see. Bye for now!
