Laziness in Kathmandu

Well, I must admit that I am glad to be finally leaving Kathmandu. We've been doing a lot of reading and sitting around as we'd seen what we wanted to of Kathmandu before we went trekking. A week is too long to be sitting around being lazy and trying to get fat. I think the latter is working a little though as Savannah, Brittany and I have taken to raiding the bakery in the evenings when the cakes and strudels are half price. Mmmmm...... bakery goodies.....
The weather, apart from the last 2 days has been quite agreeable though I could wish for less pollution and noise on the streets. Ah, the joys of city life..... Finally we got our Indian visa so we will leave first thing tomorrow morning to start up the adventures once again. We have a 3 day, 2 night "safari" planned in Chitwan National Park. Elephant riding and such looking for Rhinos. Should be good. From there we will head to India via the eastern border of Nepal heading toward Darjeeling and Sikkim (a semiautonomous state in India located between Nepal and Bhutan). Thus we will start in the east (farther from Pakistan and earthquakes) and will make our way toward Bangladesh (currently rated the worst country on the recently released Corruptions Index, don't worry Nepal and India don't rank much better) via Calcutta.
