this funky town

Namaste

Still in Katmandu, which is one very cool place. "funky" is the only term I can really think of to describe it. The rooftop scape is quite interesting. There is a dog who likes to sit with his front paws hanging over the edge of a roof and bark at the passersby below on the street. May be a bit intimidating if it wasn't 5 stories up.

Yesterday we went and saw the palace. Only 4 years ago, nepal was still a kingdom, today it's a democracy and they've opened up the palace as a museum. It was quite interesting , the royal family had had a rather troubled past within the last decade, which actually resulted in a shooting spree by the kings brother. Quite a troubled family history... put an interesting museum.

Also found a "secret garden" which was absolutely beautiful. Spent some time relaxing with a drink in the garden.

Tomorrow we're off to Chitwan national park to do an elephant safari and have a good time.

More later...
