Arriving in the big smoke, and maybe this is the biggest ‘smoke’ I have been in so far. As we came over the rim of the valley after an exciting short – cut we had our first glimpse of the city; a haze of smog. With visability down to 100m this morning the polution is pretty bad. Louise has bought herself a purple face mask to blend in with the local populus: I just spit in the gutter and take another suck on my inhailer.
We now have a million and one pictures of various stupas:-
New top from the market.
Mokey Temple Stupa
At Rokpa
Prayer candles
Hindu devotional building
The Monkey Temple was devoted to both Hindu gods and Buddah
Monk reads inscription
Cake!
Prayer wheels
Friendly monk; Jacob just about holding it together
Louise’s Nepali brother.

Sounds like when we arrived in Malaysai,I couldn’t breath and you could taste the pollution. It hung
around at head height and choked you. It was a shame as it was a nice place with nice people ,but I
just couldn’t hack it Maybe you shouldn’t stay too long
Anyway , look after yourselves
love Mum & Dad xxx..
urgh that sounds really gross

Hi guys!
Finally catching up with you! I see you’ve sussed out how to put a picture on! I’ve generally struggled to navigate the blog and work out what to do and where to find stuff, expected to be updated with email links but it hasn’t happend; I stumbled on the photo upload thing and just sent one off.
Bin a very busy Autumn back here in Blighty for me and boy have we had some weather, seems like flood after flood. Loving your posts or at least the one’s I’ve managed to catch, wonderful adventure, must make time to login more often. Christmas in a non-Christian country – that’s the way to do it! Enjoy.
Love Richard and Ania
In fact the whole biuld up to christmas has been bypassed. I blame schools. In fact just discussed dates, “oh, 21st that is quite close to chistmas then.” I had planned to just not mention it at all but Angela has said that it was not exceptable.
