Nepal - Day 8

The next day the transportation was down again so we walked once more to the embassy. More forms, more fees. They told us to come back at 4:30 and by then it was about 11:00. We had a lot of time to kill but I eagerly dragged Neha and Surendra to an oasis that I had spotted.

Sushi! It was very expensive for Nepal, but my first sushi in five months was delicious.

We wandered about in boredom, stopping to rest at a pond, or to buy snacks. Finally 4:30 hit, and I got my Visa at last, ensuring another six months in India.

We walked back quickly, because Neha and I had a dinner arranged with Chris Anderson. Chris is a Canadian Bahai and friend of my family, so when he heard that I was in Kathmandu he kindly invited Neha and I out to supper. We had a nice meal and Chris was an excellent and interesting conversationalist.
