Thamel - Kathmandu

OK I have made it to Kathmandu and all the travelling went good and I strangley enjoyed it. Not sure if this is because I have been thinking about this trip for the last few months and just pleased it was all happening. Landing in Kathmandu the weather was cloudy so did not get a chance to see the big mountains. Then the drive through Katmandu was great with every form of transport all blasting there horns at the same time and coming at each other from all angles. We then went out for the traditonal dish of pizza and beer!..the plan for today is to leave Thamel (a tourist ghetto, where most people stay here because most people stay here) and we will be heading south for 5 hours where we will be for a good few days. Hopefully we will be starting the work Wednesday on taking vulture chicks into captivity. I may well be out of comms for the next few days so the next blog should be of interest and hopefully good news!
