Day 18: Zhangmu- Kathmandu

That day was simple, passing the border between China and Nepal.
It took us 6 hours. Passing the border itself was simple, Chinese immigration impecable with officers in white glove. However they were searching all our baggages only to see if we had images or articles concerning the Dailey Lama. If they had found one, they could have traced it back to the person who would have given it to us and then... Happily no problem, but when you have a total of 20 cars, it takes time.
Then we entered the Nepal side, no custom, immigration without problem, but the road was very narrow and there was many trucks. Hence the delays.
Eventualy we moved on and 50 km from the city we were awaited by a Gurka's detachment (Toughest regiment of the Army) who opened the road for us and got us to the hotel. Thank you, thank you. It was madness, we only hit 2 motorcycles on the way. Other from the group did better, no one hurt and another scratch to a 2CV is only a mark of pride.

At the hotel, I went to the internet and what I had suspected all the time was right, I could access easily my blog. It was blocked by the censors in China. From then on, time permiting, I will updating it myself and add the pictures that Laureline never received.
