smile: Ed, Gaz and Marky boy visit

So Ed, Gaz and Marky boy arrived and spent some time in smogville before they departed on their epic trek... which hopefully they will return from in one piece.
After arriving and (Ed and Gaz) totally freaking out about earthquakes, which involved seeing if they could fit under sofas and sleeping close together in the lounge near the earthquake emergency barrel, we were able to do some sightseeing!

Me in Bhaktapur

Ed and Gaz try to storm the temple in Bhaktapur

Bhaktapur is lovely and traffic free, and has roaming goats... which Ed was happy about...

Bhaktapur is famous for its pottery

There are lots of pots...

Ed gave it a go... with some help from the potter...

One of Bhaktapur's lovely squares

Lunch on the roof

Time to pose with the sadhus at Pashupati

Ed emerges from a quick massage at Bouda

Climbing onto the roof of the massage parlor... for the view

Boudanath from the roof of the massage parlor

Then off to the Buddha park

Sunset at Swoyumbonath

Next day it was up bright and early to paint the orphanage and collect Markyboy from the airport... this is the girls room before it was painted PINK (of course) - Kate you would be very happy with it :O)

The boys with the pink paint!

Then it was onto the exterior... Ruth chose a lovely blue colour... I went up on the bamboo ladders for about 5min before deciding it was too scary, and retiring to paint the balcony.
