The streets got narrower as we got closer to the older part of town.
In between the shops there are sometimes narrow small alleys which give access to courtyards behind the shops. Here are Tiarna and Jenaya in one of these with a very dirty well behind them.
I wanted to show the lack of planning in street layout. Notice the parallel frontage on this street intersection. Roads also move from 20-30 m wide to 3-4 m wide without notice! Talk about traffic mayhem! There is a traffic policeman stationed at this corner (in the shadows behind the cars)
Mazz and the girls looking at shoes! It was just about here that I was hit by a motorbike while taking a photo (in the middle of the street). Smashed his blinker off but he didn't know what to do and decided to ride off into the dust... I was just about ready to reach for my wallet too.
I don't know how tea and Internet communications go together but...
This was the view after coming out of the narrow Bazaar section of Patan. Sunday afternoon is not really a 'quiet time' in the city.
