Cold....Brrrr, Kathmandu

It's only 13 degrees C in Kathmandu and I am freezing in the motel room. In fact it was so cold, I decided to go down for a cup of tea. That's why I can type this blog. Earlier I was stuck in the room because the electricity was out for a couple of hours. As I was telling a friend, I can't take the cold anymore. Too used to the warmth of the equatorial weather. With the cold, there's so much packing to do. I spent most of Monday trying to figure out what to bring - t-shirts, thermals, jackets, etc. I realize I likely don't have enough warm clothing for the negative degrees trek. Ooops, no sub zero sleeping bag. Guess I'll just have to buy it here. Fortunately, there is no lack of sleeping bag shops. Kathmandu is the warm part of the trip. Maybe I am getting a little too old for all these types of adventure trips. Maybe it's time for the 4-5 star hotels luxury trip.
