Day 62: Kathmandu

After we left Pokhara, we finally had constant paved roads, apparently that is rare in Nepal. This allowed us to cut down on time and use our new skill in driving motorcycles to our advantage.

This part of the drive was really fun; twisting and turning with the mountains and valley as we weave around the slower traffic was the best combination of adrenaline and excitement I have ever come across.

We had to make several stops along the way, as it later became hard to stay seated, the irregular pain was so bad. This allowed us to meet some locals and talk with them. Many were very interested by my GoPro that was mounted on my helmet. "Camera?"

By the time we got to Kathmandu, it was already dark. Trying to navigate the city in the dark with intense traffic was not easy. It took us about thirty minutes to find our hostel. Once settled in, we got to talking with some other travelers and joined them at a bar. The bar was nothing special, filled with all older people. Robbie and I were looking for one of the places that kept us up both previous night, while we were trying to sleep, in Kathmandu, the loud music and sounds of excitement was definitely what we were looking for. However, by the time we finished our drinks and conversations, all the bars were starting to close, so we headed in to get some much needed rest
