As today has no trekking involved, it was time for a lie in. When we eventually dragged ourselves out of bed, the first stop was the quaint street stall that served milk tea. The owners also persuaded us to try various breakfast dishes they were making from bean curry, doughnuts to freshly cooked samosas. We enjoyed every one!
A leisurely morning was spent admiring the old town's buildings and watching every day Nepali life continue at its slow pace.
Around lunchtime we checked out, took the 5 minute walk to the bus station and found the bus back to Kathmandu. It was a pleasant journey on tarmac roads listening to Nepali music played through the bus' audio system.
As we entered Kathmandu we passed several peaceful
protests. Further on we saw another large gathering. This one was in fact because vacancies had been released for the Nepalese army and these were the people wanting to apply!
Arriving back at our homestay we drank coffee, ate a home cooked meal and chatted the night away.
