One learns a lot about logistics while vacationing here--to use the internet, even at a reputable cafe where they have a backup battery system, you need power at the cafe, at the cafe's server, and at the city level. If you get as far as burning photos onto a CD for ease of loading, you have to find a computer with a CD drive before you can load the photos. And in reality, it's a marvel if the computer has an actual, working keyboard.
The trip into Kathmandu was considerably enriched when, in half a dozen different suburbs, we passed lineups of people carrying what looked like stretchers with cement or rice bags on them but turned out to be people killed by busses.
Also interesting that it's not possible to alter a ticket at the airport, you have to go to the airline office somewhere in downtown.
Still, tomorrow's a welcome flight back. Been a very good trip, but de ffily time to be home.
