A ghostly city welcomed me, no power, no people as they are all gathering in open spaces under the rain, or at the airport ready to be sent home...
My flight on landing was sent back to Dhaka as Karhmandu was just getting struck again from the aftershocks....so we were put on the national rescue plane that Bangladesh was sending to recover their nationals...extra fuel on before taking off, the captain said, as we might have to wait on air before landing, we ended up staying two hours above the city and then one in the queue to leave the aircraft after the descend..
Some dotted lights in the darkness, and a grey cloud that rurned heavy rain welcomed us in a shocked country, easy formalities and out in the bivouc that scared local and concerned tourists had created outside the building..
I am ok, I am gonna stay here for 12 days and the family vacation is officially postponed to next month...
