Just for giggles...

These pictures are a bit old, but I was meaning to share them...
I took them while I was at the Kathmandu domestic airport waiting for a flight out west, in the height of the trekking season. I would say that about 90% of all people (Nepali's+foreigners) were wearing hiking boots and that about 80% of the people were on a flight for the Everest Region. I just couldn't get over the amount of khaki, trekking boots and backpacks I was surrounded by! It blew my mind....I thought I was in some sort of outdoorsy shop...

and then...there was this lovely lady, who - like me, made up that 10% of people that weren't wearing trekking boots, but was however on the flight to the Everest Region. I didn't realise corked wedges were "in" up in the Himalayas...

The most delectable thing i've ever eaten...



on saturday night my husband and i went for our usual dining out on the town and ventured to the 'roadhouse cafe' which has gourmet wood fired pizzas, pastas and other amazing yummy things. during our meal i announced that i was going to have dessert...and i was going to splurge. behind us there were some european's that had just cleaned up their meal and had something sizzling and bubbling served to them. my husband said "look at that" and when i turned around...i gasped and exclaimed "I'M HAVING THAT!"

'that' is a warm chocolate brownie with a dollop of ice cream on top, and placed on a hot plate with sizzling HOT chocoloate fudge! ohh dear me i think i went to heaven...i am going to have one at least once a week from now on...it is totally worth my waist line expanding!!

did i mention that it only costs $AUD3??
