I can see clearly now the rain is gone!

Monday was a bit of a set back. I sadly lost my battle with some momos and didnt make it in to work, lovely Sam stayed with me and by 12ish we were off out in the rain! We went to into Thamel and got lost in the lanes and lanes of shops and bars. We managed to find a postoffice and sent our postcards to a select few! Had a drink and left our mark at Sam's bar....yes Sam's bar!! And then had a race home to beat the rain. Had a huge thunder storm and had an early night. Luckily Tuesday I felt better and Sam and I were back to work! We had our last day on the birth centre and also had some time to update our antenatal education powerpoint that we are doing for MIDSON next week. Kiran, our hostess with the mostess, then took us to into Kathmandu to do some shopping. She took us to her HUGE 8 storey house, with panaromic views of Kathmandu Valley. She gave us a feast of fruit, rice, and other Nepali treats and made us feel like family. We can not get over the amazing warmth and kindness we have been shown while in Nepal.....do we really have to leave?? She then took us to see Kathmandu Durbar Square where we saw temples being dressed for an upcoming festival and visited the house of the living goddess. She was sleeping so we could not meet her this visit! Kiran then took us through the winding streets to see the most beautiful fabric, pashminas, food, and music. We decided we best hop in a cab ride home as it started to rain again, and we had our first day on the Operating Theatre, dont want to seem like cheeky British girls!! shhhh dont tell anyone!!
