Nepal Blog Day 8
Chris was thinking of taking a picture of the palace in the mist. As he looked into the screen of his phone, he thought he was looking at Mark and a few expletives ensued around not wanting to look at Mark’s ugly face before realising he was looking at his own face, as his phone was still on selfie
