Sommerville House Team A, report back from Nepal

Namaste all!
Our trip so far has been a roaring success! Landed safely, with a bump, after flying over Kathmandu and seeing the Himalayas from above. A miracle has occurred - all of us safely survived two plane trips without tv. WOW! It was a little shocking coming from the order of the international terminals to the chaos (but fun chaos) of the Kathmandu airport car park. Particularly loved the makeshift jamming band sitting atop a bus, going against the traffic (although the traffic had no definite direction). The city has AMAZING shopping and it only gets more chaotic further in, with dogs, cats, birds, cows, goats, sheep, and babies on motorcycles all making their different pathways and noises. The hotel is cosy and cute and colourful, tucked away in a quiet corner of Thamel (quieter), and the chai tea was FANTASTICALLY GREAT! On average so far the team knows 3 words in Nepalese - Hello (Namaste), Bye Bye (Janusla) and Thank you (Dhannebhat). Everyone is safe, happy and as Vidya keeps checking, "well and healthy". Looking forward to the rest of our stay in this so far AWESOME country!

Sending love and delicious chai tea vibes,
over and out
The A Team
