Return from Nepal

We are back in Thailand after an amazing trip to Nepal. It has taken me a while to download the photos and get organised.
As well as buying some great stuff for the stores we managed to do a little exploring as well.
We took a few days to go up to Nargakot on a ridge that over looks the Himalayan range. If you are up early enough you can watch the sun rise over Everest. The next day we walked back down to Kathmandu exploring the country side along the way.

 

We also have our favourite temples to visit. This is a pic of  the Bodanath temple, a Tibetan temple on the outskirts of Kathmandu.

 

Battling the busy streets of Thamil where we do our buying is always a challenge.

But also part of the charm.

 

Here is a guy with a big load of fabric on his way to market.

 

 

The bead vendors were colourful and eye catching.

 

Their little shops grouped together. Each one seemingly more eye catching than the last.

 

Finally we decided on one and started to make our purchases.

 

 

This supplier of some of the great bags we found had a little help from his daughter when she got home from school.

 

 

The night we bought the incense from this vendor, the streets were so crowded we could hardly move. But he had a great selection so it was worth the battle.

 

So many great things to buy. We did our best.

 

 

We have gathered up all we bought and it is being packed , ready to be sent to Canada. We bought some great stuff, and are looking forward to getting it into the stores for you to see.
