who can't afford anything else and do not have yearning for cleanliness. We have done a lot of long hot dirty bus trips in our travels and when the taxi driver accidentally took us to the airport this morning instead of the bus station, I nearly sprinted to the terminal to book our 22 minute flight but stupidly contained myself and laughingly told him, "Oh no not the airport, we are going on the bus!!! You know the bus that takes seven or eight hours - always closer to the eight - and nearly goes over the edge on every corner of the high passes. Yes, that one!!!"
So after three very relaxing days in Pokhara, we headed back for Kathmandu on a bloody bus!!!! Pokhara was the place where we were going to do a trek but after finding out that we needed at least five days and we had three we were left with rather a gap in our itinerary. We did enjoy going to the Gurka Museum and strolling along the beautiful lake but other than that there was not a lot to do especially as the Annapurna Ranges were under cloud for the majority of the time.
It was a good rest though and I think you need that when travelling in Asia. It is so much more demanding than Europe. So we made the most of it and we are now back in Kathmandu. We have a few things we still want to see here. We also have to sort out our luggage which has grown considerably before we fly out for India on June 1.
Our friends the Glindemans leave for Poland soon and we wish them a happy and safe journey. Make the most of it guys and look forward to catching up when you return. Also for Ron, hope you have an exciting time in Holland making your big purchase.
Cheers.
