Day 4. Fri. 7th May. Pashupatinath & Bhoudanath

The Maoist strike stopped us from leaving Kathmandu so most of us went for a walk over to Pashupatinath, the Hindu temple where the funeral ghats are - always a sobering place.
A couple of km. over the hill brought us to the giant stupa at Bhoudanath - remarkably quiet as all the shops were closed.
That evening we found a place near the hotel called 'The Food Zone Cafe' which was retrospectively christened 'Bikrum's Dodgy Kebab House' by Phil.

Far too many beers were consumed here !

Dave, Phil & myself early on.

We heard about 10.30 pm that the strike had been called off so we were leaving by bus in the morning for Pokhara. This led to massive celebration with more beers and harder drinks - oops!
