09/26/2002 Entry: "25 Sep 2002 - Bangkok / and finally Kathmandu"

Woke up early in the morning, bloody tired, and Ayala (who was sharing the room) headed down to find out about the plane and they said oh 6am for breakfast now. I cleaned my boots in the sink as revenge for that, and went back to sleep until 6am. Got up had breakfast, talked to some people finally around 9am we were told time to airport at 9:30am.

All hearded onto a bus and back to the airport checkin counter, where I managed to secure a right hand side window seat (for good views of Himalayas - didn't matter it was cloudy). Bummed airport again and finally flight left around 2pm, 24 hrs later than it was meant to.

Got to Kathmandu 3 hrs later, spent nearly 2 hrs in the visa queues due to the airport having been closed for a day. Met Darryl in airport found where he was going. Kathmandu was 1:15 mins different than Bangkok (what's with 15mins?). Got a taxi to take us into centre of Kathmandu and found a place to stay. Met Darryl again, and went looking for Gerry who was joining us, but no sign of him at his hotel so we left a message, went for some dinner and crashed out.
