Namaste - hello!Would you believe it - we have made it to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
Such a beautiful country with lots of customs. We learnt pretty quickly not to expose the bottoms of our feet. Even more importantly we learnt not to touch anyone with our left hands - or touch theirs! The left hand is used to wash after going to the loo. So food is only touched with the right hand. The left hand can be used to hold glasses, bowls, and probably eating utensils.
I know that you are waiting for a food report.... As a vegetarian, this has been the best place so far for food. The Nepali national meal is daal bhaat tarkaari (spiced lentils, boiled rice, vegetable curry) which is accompanied by dahi (yogurt) and a ultra-spicy fresh chutney or achar (pickle) all washed down with the lethal raksi.
Subha ratri - good night!
oops nearly forgot to say, we covered 342 miles today.
