before leaving

Hello my beutiful princess. wonderful to hear what you have been up to even if its a bit sad. I haven't checked out the updated website yet but will do it next.
Today we have spent most of the day getting organised for the hike. We are going to fly out tomorrow morning at 6.30 to start the hike so i won't be able to write for a while. Don't worry though, I will definately still be thinking of you very much. The flight in sounds as if it will be terrifying. The plane apparantly doesn't have that much room for the decent so does it very quickly in between big mountains.
Yesterday was great. We hired bikes and rode out of town a little to a place called Patan. This place is amazing because it has such a high concentaration of increadible temples in its centre. We spent some time wonderin around them and took a few photos. We also went to the place where the Nepalease carpet production started and were able to see some carpets getting made. Jacinta bought one whic was vvery nice.
The bike riding was great to althought on the way there it was terrible because most of the roads dont have names and the traffic is horrible. The roads are so congested with traffic and none of them follow and rules amd makes it very difficutl. On the way back though it was different because we stuck to the back roads with much less traffic. We were also able to see how most people in Kathmandu live and how they still are happy even in some pretty bad conditions. It felt really good riding throught those back streets because it felt like you were really getting a good sense of the city and how it works.
I think that about it. I will write again as soon as i get back from the hike but untill then I love you very much and will be thinking of you always.
Love you, yoiur angel.
