Well, we've arrived in Kathmandu. Sorry I didn't have a chance to update the blog sooner. We arrived in Bangkok early this morning - around 2 am - and slept overnight at the airport hotel. The flight to Kathmandu was smooth, but the troubles began at the airport in Kathmandu. Immigration control is absolutely abysmal. Bob and John were really getting worked up about our 2 1/2 hour wait for a sticker followed by a signature. Then, three of us piled into a tiny van with the baggage to get to the domestic terminal. The others walked... Check-in was nice and chaotic. We waited some more, watched a couple guys have it out with each other, and later found out that our flight to Biratnagar was cancelled due to "issues with the runway at the airport"???
Any hoo, we'll be staying for the night in Kathmandu at the Hyatt (NICE!) and will try again tomorrow. The sunset was gorgeous. We're headed out to explore Kathmandu and enjoy a nice dinner. Everyone sends all their best. That's all for now...
