Nepal Trip 2007: official start of the trip: Kathmandu, Day 1 12 October 2007 10:22 am

I guess it’s actually technically day 1.5 or so considering we arrived in Kathmandu yesterday and maybe even did a little sightseeing, but according to our itinerary this is the official first day. Picture me a little tired out from bouncing off walls and hugging family members I haven’t seen in months, or maybe longer. Also I expect there will be wrangling of trekking gear, and probably some more exploring of the city.

Speaking of which, Nepal is on Google Maps these days! Hurray! Check out this hybrid view of Kathmandu:

Shiny! I haven’t quite been able to locate where we’re staying, but I know we’re in the part of the city called Thamel, which is to the west of the Royal Palace, which I’m guessing is the big green square in the middle there.

This post was written and scheduled for automagical posting in the week before I left on this crazy adventure. I hope to write many more posts about the trip — you know, with more actual details and pictures and stuff — but for now this is all we’ve got while my intergoogle access is all kinds of sporadic during my travels from October 9 until November 6.
