We've finally now arrived back in Kathmandu, the bus journey yesterday took us 11.5 hours (yes really!). The reason for this were Maoist party activity in one of the towns on the way (i.e. they had blockaded half the road, and out of respect, most people didn't bother going past them, so we sat there for a couple of hours). Then there were strikes in Kathmandu, so we joined a queue of buses, lorries etc trailing for 10km outside of Kathmandu. As a result we got in really late and struggled to find a (decent) hotel, ended up staying in a hole of a place last night.
Getting a bit tired of the chaos here now, the traffic has to be seen to be believed, no traffic lights, no signs much, no organisation and bikes in every conceivable gap. Could do with holiday now...
