Day 16 - Back to Dhaka

We knew we had to leave this amazing place today so we got up early and went straight to Thamel – the centre of Kathmandu. Not that we did much there – we basically ended up spending an hour at a shop where they were selling pashmina and lambs wool jumpers and shawls. They were all “export quality and good discount price for you ma frend”. Hence we bought “a few”. Thamel is a really nice part of Kathmandu, small streets with tourist shops but also art galleries and Asian antiques shops etc, and on almost every square you find a temple…

Back at the Hotel we had to go straight to the airport, to catch our Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight to Dhaka. The sun was shining, it was warm, with the Himalaya all around the Kathmandu Valley… shame we had to leave!

Once passed immigration at Dhaka Airport we went to Gulshan II to go to the tailor where Nic and Jaco had ordered shirts. Another place with “good quality cheap cheap” so also Ferdi and I ordered some and Nic and Jaco extended their collection. Now we are all broke and will starve for the rest of the trip;) or maybe ask Grameen for a loan…
