Arrival at Khatmandu Airport

---

So my flight from Hong Kong to KTM was short. Only about 5 hours. The airport in KTM is tiny. I didn't have a VISA as they told me I could get one upon arrival. Only I forgot that I was told I needed cash for it. What a predicament...considering I only had $40US. A 3 month Visa costs $100 us - no CC payment - no Nepali Rupees..nada. I ended up getting only a 15 day one for $25 and now I have to go back and get it extended. I thought I was so prepared. After the Visa fiasco it was a breeze to get out of the airport and my driver was waiting for me outside with a big sign saying Amica. It was about a 30 minute drive from the airport to the hostel..there was nobody on the streets. Not like India at all. When I got to the hostel I was in a room with three other people. I was exhausted and just passed out with all my clothes on. The bathrooms are not so great...could be worse..but def NO hot water :-(
