Kathmandu or Kathmadon't

After approximately 14 hours of travel, Steph and I made it to Kathmandu. We were welcomed by an hour and a half wait to get a visa, which was maddening  as all we wanted to do by this point was sleep. We arrived at the hotel by car, and our taxi driver actually admitted to enjoying cannabis a little too much, which was the perfect compliment to his driving. We got the opportunity to explore the city by night, a terrifying but rewarding experience as it really is quite special. It seems to be the perfect place for trekkers and people who enjoy recreational drugs, as we were offered a number of different narcotics within 20 minutes of setting off from the hotel. After almost 12 hours of well deserved sleep, we are heading off to visit a monkey temple and then unfortunately flying up to Pokhara this afternoon to get our first glimpse of the Tuk Tuk.. We are Kathmandon't's but to every one else I would recommend Kathmandu!
