Shopping assistants

Katmandu; 1,235 metres; approx. 19 celcius

We were helped enourmously today by Shanu and her friends in our shopping for warm clothing. They bargained and made sure we got good deals and quality stuff. They are medical students here in Katmandu and if their medical skills are as good as their shopping skills, the health of the Maldives has a bright future.

Later on, they treated us to a steak lunch on a roof top where we could see the hills around Katmandu and a few snow peaks.
