On Sunday my husband and I had a wonderful day. We ventured out and visited Patan Durbar Square, previously the Palace for the Kingdom of Patan (in Kathmandu there used to be 3 kingdoms). Beautiful architecture and a little bit of peace despite the beggers and tourists running around like mice beind their guides.
We were glad to discover a hidden oasis behind all the kaos which was a small cafe/restaurant hidden behind the 2nd palace surrounded by beautiful gardens...I do believe this was the best find by my husband and I since our 2 months living in Nepal. We actually had a normal meal and felt incredibly satisfied afterwards. So satisfied we barely batted an eyelid to the 2 Nepali women shouting and pushing each other - fighting over beaded necklaces or something!
A downer to the day was getting ripped off by a 'holy man'. We paid him $5 to take 2 pictures with him!!! I could put on his outfit and say I was holy too...
