Monkey Temple

The Monkey Temple is a cool place to visit. I forgot the name of it but any guide book will tell you. I rented a bike to ride there from Durbar Square. It is a fun ride. I paid a ransom to the boys at the bottom of the hill to watch my bike. Very Cheap!! If you don't they will let the air out of your tires and then rent an air pump to you for more than the ransom!

    Scott, you have been to some amazing places! I had just assumed that the city was perched on some mountain slopes until you set me straight!

    Be careful when you rent those bicycles, especially if the King is out and about on the Ring Road.
