I met with the tour leader...I am the only one here. He is going out to the airport to check on things. It looks like we will have our Kathmandu tour on Tuesday and no extra day at the end in best case scenario. However unless their flight was one of the few going out they will not arrive until Tuesday sometime... I asked to be booked on some kind of tour tomorrow. May have to explore Durbar Square myself as don't want to miss out on that. Sigh....oh well at least I am here and not stuck at Heathrow. I am meeting him again tonight at 8 so will know more then.
While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep? Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker. I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that. While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards. And there I found my walk. After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.) Okay, I may not have totally...
