WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I left this book on the bookshelf of Amore Guest House after a wonderful two week stay in Lalitpur, Kathmandu. The hotel staff were all lovely and the breakfasts cooked by our chef, Raj, were amazing. Happy memories of an amazing holiday just before the world went into lockdown.
