Kathmandu, Nepal
After
a 13 ½ hour drive from Lhasa to the China-Nepal border yesterday
and a 4 hour drive today from Kodari, Nepal to Kathmandu we are spent
and we need a break. We both have colds and are feeling a bit run
down. The worst part of the driving was actually the last hour when
we hit greater Kathmandu. The dust and exhaust fumes were
extraordinary – this is the first country where wearing a mask not
only makes sense but it’s a necessity. At times it was hard to
breathe and our throats were so dry we each drank a huge bottle of
water – and we were just sitting in a car! Honestly, if it was 30
degrees hotter – the last hour of that drive would have been my
version of hell. Catalytic converters are beautiful things – and
Nepal definitely needs them. Tomorrow off to India and some chill
time!
