Rest day in Kathmandu

Tuesday,  May 8th

Today was a rest day so we could recover from the flights and adjust to the time change.  We took it easy and let our bodies catch up with the marvels of modern transportation.

After a leisurely breakfast we caught a cab to "the Monkey Temple. " (Swayambhumsth Stupa), climbed a little over a million steps and enjoyed the view and fresh breeze on top.

Lots of souvenir vendors, dogs (old strays to cuddly puppies), many monkeys and tourists of all stripes were competing for space and our attention. A friendly young lady from Uruguay took our mandatory photo in front of the stupa. 


Back down the steps, we negotiated another cab and made our way back to our part of town. 

We sorted and packed some, had a pretty dinner and went to bed early.
