In Kathmandu

Well we arrived here a couple of days ago and it is very chaotic because there is the Diwali or Tihar festival going on. Traffic is horrendous and so moving around is difficult. I have visited some of the children and am delivering letters and gifts. Everyone is fine and there appear to be no problems.
Mann's wife is having her baby in a couple of weeks. We are going to Pokhara on Friday and then up to the village of Chimkhola in the mountains.
I will update this blog as often as I can as time allows. I forgot to bring my cord for my camera and so downloading pictures is not possible.
Thursday is bitikar day when sisters honour their brothers and we will spend that day with Jagat, Mann and their families.
The luggage that we brought got here okay but only just as Hong Kong airport was not going to allow us to bring the extra bag that we had paid for in Vancouver. They did not really care that we had no where to leave it and after about an hour we found a lovely Chinese official who sorted it out for us and it arrived okay. We brought 330 pounds which is a feat in itself just moving it all around. All for the charity, clothes, shoes etc.
More later.
