This morning we woke in anticipation of having to walk to a bus stop to catch a ‘tourist bus’ to the airport as there was meant to be a political strike happening from 6am-6pm. This strike prevented all cars etc from driving which meant our airport transfer could not happen.
Thankfully when we went downstairs to check out we were informed that the strike had been cancelled - a sigh of relief - so our airport transfer would happen as previously arranged.
We arrived to the chaos that is Kathmandu airport (well that is Kathmandu really) and checked onto our flight to Bangkok and through to Turkey. Then spent the next few hours killing time as one does in small international airports - drinking coffee, watching TV, wandering the 2-3 shops.
We spent a few hours in Bangkok airport between flights catching up on internet etc and trying to get our seats changed on our Turkish Airlines flight so we could be together rather than 10 rows apart, or with Jack at least having an exit row seat because the flight was over 10h. This all seemed a little to difficult for the staff at the TA counter in the airport because there were apparently large Thai tour groups on the same flight. Anyway, when it was time to board, we arrived early and asked again at the gate, and thankfully we had someone who helped and at least sat us together.
