Day 67 - Our India Visa Is Approved !!

I woke up around 6am today.... unfortunately from more stomach cramps. Tom woke a little after 8am but we both lounged around till 10am, trying to decide if it was safe to leave our hotel.
After doing a thorough risk assessment we decided to search out a cafe that offered some very boring & safe breakfast options.

After breakfast we walked around Themal for a bit before going to the Embassy to find out if our Indian Visa had been approved. Thankfully it had!
The afternoon passed in a flurry of activity as we planned our next destination, booked accommodation, looked up the bus route and researched reliable bus companies.
We then packed our bags, organised our shopping to be posted back to Aus, withdrew money from an ATM we trusted and went out for one last dinner in Thamel, Kathmandu. We picked a beautiful Italian restaurant on the main street and we both ordered pasta. It was an excellent meal and we both returned to our hotel for our last nights sleep.

We definitely wont miss the sounds of the drunk tourists walking home, the dogs that start barking at 4am or the roller doors that open and close all night. even though we are 6 storeys up, all of this sounds like it is literally happening a metre away.

We feel excited to be leaving Kathmandu & exploring the rest of Nepal! We only regret the time we spent in bed being sick, instead of exploring more of the amazing things in Kathmandu Valley. It is definitely a place that we would both come back to, maybe one day we will cross all those other things off.
