Boudha etc.

I am so behind in my blog that I am now not sure what I have done and what I haven’t, but I shall try to catch up in reasonable chronological order!

Here are a few photos of the lovely guest house where I stayed in Boudha, which is run by the Shechen Monastery. I have also included lots of photos from a day we had in Kathmandu looking at many of the wonderful temples.
