The trip back to KTM wasn’t too bad.  The air con delux bus was worth the couple hundred extra rupees. It still stopped a lot and the seats certainly weren’t very comfortable, but all in all it wasn’t terrible.  It was also pretty easy for Susie and I to grab our bags and get to the guesthouse that Paula coordinated.  I thought the room was ok when I saw it briefly today when we got here, but now that I’m in it tonight I don’t think I can stay here for any longer than tonight.  Tomorrow I’m going to ask if they have any other rooms.  If they do I’ll check out and hope to find something else nearby. I’d really like to stay in this area because it’s nice to be near Susie and Paula, but I can’t do this room for more than one night.  It’s gross and the there’s some pretty significant water damage.  It smells bad because of the water damage and I kind of don’t want to touch anything right now.

We did, however, have a nice evening in KTM.  We walked around the square and ate a relaxing dinner.  This area is definitely more relaxed than the craziness of Thamel and other parts of KTM.  I’d still much rather be in Pokhara, but I could handle a few days in this area if I can get a new room figured out.  That is definitely going to happen tomorrow.

Otherwise, I’m tired from the bus ride and having to get up early today.  It’s relatively early, but I’m looking forward to bed.  Yay!
