Some of the last photographs on my camera
It is amazing that there is any power at all in Kathmandu with wiring like this. |
Are these tomatoes or chillies? |
Ginger, but not sure what is on the left... |
Radishes - ate them on most days |
, |
Yet another butcher shop selling wild boar |
The stupa at Boudhnath, one of my favourite places to visit |
Pilgrims walk anti-clockwise, around the stupa daily and rotate the prayer wheels as they chant their mantras. |

More Kathmandu Colour
Street vendors in Kathmandu can be irritating but this lady from Kathmandu was charming and beautiful. She had good English although had never been to school, and said she thought she might be 80. I could not resist buying one of her 'coral' necklaces which were exactly the same colour as her shawl.
One of the myriad number of beadshops in the city - and sensible tourist with smog mask |
Marigold garlands similar to those made for me by the children |
People and places in Kathmandu
Durbar Square |
The woman in front of this statue was making an offering of a marigold and waving an incense stick |
Rickshaw is probably the fastest and safest way to get around the city |
Amazing face painting and extraordinary headgear. This sadu tried to explain the meaning of his headdress but sadly I didn't understand a word he said |
Terracota elephants over a shop doorway |
