| After saying 'Goodbye' to Embee we travelled to the Royal
Botanical Gardens. Perhaps it was a little too early in the year to
make this visit as there were very few plants in flower and the
planting was rather sparse. It was then on to Patan Durbar Square to
explore more temples, carvings and architecture. Lunch was taken at
a very pleasant and secluded restaurant before exploring some of the
side streets surrounding Durbar Square.
