Katmandu: We shopped all day picking out gifts an nic nacs for our friends and family. Katmandu is one of the nest cites for tourist gifts. Never before in all of our traveling have we ever found so many things in the shops to purchase. The cities combination of Buddhist culture and camping gear makes a great place to shop. Dendie contacted us and said the trekking companies wanted to do a final dinner with us and all the other trekkers that had come off there trips. We were not in the mood for another scripted trekking dinner and declined the offer. We shopped for the entire day, picking up Buddhist sculptures, horns, prayer wheels, singing bowls, and a large Gurka knife. We found a Mexican restaurant with a great happy hour to eat our last evening’s meal in Katmandu. We catch our plane back home tomorrow so this will be the final log in the trek, so I hope you have enjoyed it (we have). |
