February 2010 Nepal — the dream journey of kink (2)

D1: February 19, Beijing-Chengdu, civil aviation hotel.

The plane was late, how to reach the 12 points, second-day 6: more aircraft, this hostel basic slept.

D2: 20 February, Chengdu-Lhasa-plus are.

The early aircraft benefit is free on Sunrise clouds:) and catch the late Lhasa airport, is said to be combined with all the bad weather, a pedestrian in open areas turn Hall consumption 3 hours, altitude of 4000 m Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ start high back. Good in high back real attack before finally boarding, is from the Hall to go to the aircraft, a lot of people take photographs while walking, pretending to Tibet. The weather is very good, the captain is also very good, with all one's heart to tell everybody here is Namtso, here are the sheep Lee Yong measures, we have a very complex will hold the aircraft left a little to the right, made me blind fear of aircraft are not because of the weight and turned off. Finally saw the Himalayas, the truth not out which is the Mount Everest, think are particularly high especially close, especially beautiful, and leap Alpine feeling is not the same, then just curious, and they're all a bit excited!!!, the Himalayan mountains in the sudden drop in to see a piece of land of green and yellow, Nepal, unfortunately this side of air visibility really badly, hazy, no wonder the plane will be late.

The aircraft, see prior of international guest house come to meet, all of a sudden panic, I wrote numerous mail, set down, even if we delayed 3 hours or so dishonest! is anxious, suddenly found my name, but tibet guest house, I really ever written consultation, but have not kept pace with them to confirm that you want to live, no holds barred, or to the Tamil says, unable to get on the bus, there are a couple of small, ask their booking price, we will follow them to the House.

Tibet started some years ago, in two buildings, the better off the main street, we were led to the addition of almost flat, room very stale, and bed linen and tide and dirty, the House also 16 USD/night, just stealing money, so we can't help a hostel, insisted on better luxury rooms, 26 us $/night deluxe room means a room big, there is a fridge, bathroom a little better, but for every n-th power of all, I do not understand what the fridge, but for the third day will go to bokhara, we will not help in this.

Settled after we set out to do bad Plaza, LP so follow it route winding walk for a long time before that, a small alley way net wear, that is the way that we fully realize the difference, Kathmandu messy grueling ordeal and hard work, we finally arrived at the famous du bus Plaza, no see ticket sales office, no one asked us to buy a ticket, in fact, were it not for seeing which of landmark buildings we are not sure if this is the square, full of junk and shit everywhere filled with stifling smell of gas and the stiffness, pedestrians and vehicles cross-straight through, and pertinacious hawkers selling Tiger chess, can't we hid on the highest of the temple, seen from the top seems to be good, but the smell of urine show, so we still strongly decided to retreat, court yard of the Kumari took one look, very quiet, has not seen her would appear.

Then we returned to the hotel, playing opposite there is a travel agency, a day after tomorrow (22) to the bus, l, buy mineral water – we found that tap water is yellow, so every time you brush teeth with complete mineral water rinse out mouth, in all of the days of expensive mineral water. Just to add that we began to regret, but according to the original plan to stay a day to look around, and then go to bokhara, proved not to leave and how fast is our major mistakes.
