Food poisoning at lake Phewa

---

Hi all,
We have been up to Pokhara and are now back in Kathmandu waiting for our flight to Delhi this afternoon.

4 days in Kathmandu were enough, saw the big stupas (Swayambunath and Bodnath- see photos) that everyone knows. Did a lot of shopping and eating and not much else.

Then caught the bus to Pokhara 6 hrs ? 200Km. Which is on gorgeous lake Phewa (again photos) we stayed for the first 2 nights at a hotel on the water in a stone Nepali style cottage which was lovely but very expensive. The first 5 mins we were there Clayton ate 'the best ever BLT' and was ferociously sick for the next 24hrs.

After he recovered we had a fantastic day motorbiking in the countryside, during which we had to pay a small payment/bribe to the Maoists who charge ?tolls for using the road. Next day we had a guided walk to get a good view of the mountains - Fishtail/Macchupuchare, Annapurnas south, 1, 2 I forget all the names. It was very cool. (photos, photos)

As you can tell the photo disc is up to date with the narrative for the first time.

Spent the afternoon rowing around lake Phewa.

Back in Kathmandu - got a room with a TV and watched continous TV for the night. Having some TV withdrawal.

Tonight we fly back to Delhi and from there will organise ? bus to Rajasthan - looks like Pushkar will be our first stop.

Hope you are all well
Megan and Clayton
