"All I have are these stupid Nepalese coins"

The Farrelly brothers didn't dig too deep when doing their research for the role of Pat Healey, because Nepalese coins are actually very hard to come by. Each is worth about a 1.5 cents and after 5 days of spending rupees we had only acquired about five in change.

Clearly, there's not much to report from Nepal since the last entry. I've had a mild case of the Dali Lama's revenge which has kept me posted up in either the bathroom or the bedroom during the majority of the last 3 days. RM and LS rented mountain bikes yesterday and visited some of the surrounding valley towns. I've spent most of my time reading (1491, Siddhartha, all the Lonely Planets I could find, and assorted travel brochures).

Things are improving on the health front and we're headed out of town tomorrow morning for a four-day kayaking course then back to Kathmandu for either some light trekking on canyoning before I head to India to meet KT on the 15th and RM and LS head to Thailand. I hope to have some beautiful river shots for the next post.
