Bhaktapur

Today we visited a neighbouring city of Kathmandu known as Bhaktapur - the 'city of the devotees'.



It is  World Heritage declared site full of  interesting Palace grounds and temples. Some of which are famous for nothing more than there magnificently gifted deities.

We wandered the lanes  arriving in places like 'Pottery Square', where not surprisingly they make pottery.


We visited  a community co-operative art school which specialises in the painting of Mandala.



Traffic is pretty much back to its choked, fuming, noisy, lawless self following the strikes during the week.

By mid afternoon we were back in Kathmandu where we enjoyed a late lunch and a little shopping.
