After we finally wrapped up that pile of work, Nic and I jumped on the motorbike on saturday and went to Dhulikel, a beautiful town in the mountains not too far from Kathmandu. We were searching for our hotel for about two hours and got completely soaked in heavy rainfalls and thunderstorm, but eventually arrived in the coziest little place on earth, took the hottest shower since I'm here and de-frosted in our pre-warmed bed (thank god for electric heating blankets and thank the Nepalis for providing them). We watched movies in bed until dinner and the next day after breakfast, we went up to Namo Buddha, a beautiful Buddhist monastery on a mountain close by. We observed a Buddhist ceremony, some crazy Lama dancing, had tea on a terrace floating in the clouds and lit some butter candles. When we decided to go back short before dusk, heavy fog fell over the lands just on time to make the trip a perfect one.
