However, we did discover the best food we’ve had in Nepal to date (and we’ve had some good food!). A 100% vege cafe, Kings Cafe which is a block back from the hotel https://maps.app.goo.gl/xiNmX5BEBA8AgkTy5?g_st=ic

So…..Lumbini. If I’m honest, none of us are fans. To be specific, we are big fans of the fabulous, exceedingly friendly and curious about where we are from local people. Not fans of the massive opulence in the Buddhist complex amongst so much extreme poverty all around it and Not fans of the big hotel, glad we are in local and home stay type situations after this. All the staff are delightful except the reception ruler who is um, not. Btw, this is my ‘garden view’ 🤣 We’ve actually decided we dislike it so much, we’re going to eat the cost of two rooms for one night each and move on to the home stay in Tansen. #AdventuresOfCass #Lumbini
Made it to #Lumbini in one piece! #Nepal #AdventuresOfCass
