Hi Everyone, I'm sure the eagle eyed amongst you will notice that we are not as planned in Hong Kong. We have had a slight change of plan, well actually we have completely changed our plans. We decided a couple of days ago that China was trying its hardest to be as diificult as possible in letting us travel there so who were we to get in its way. It is also pretty difficult to spend time in Nepal amongst the Tibetan exiles whose culture we have enjoyed so much a...

Hi Everyone, So a week or so after finishing the trek I thought I would give you an update on what we have been up to since. As you know we finished the trek in Pokhara which is Nepal's second largest 'city' but realistically it is a small town perched by a beautiful lake which weather permitting has great views of the Annapurna range (we have to trust photos for this as during our stay the weather was never permitting).

So as promised I thought I would update you on what we have been up to ...

The flight to Kathmandu was awful it was three hours delayed (we never found out why), was ridiculously hot and every other passenger was part of a large group of very loud Indian families one of whom you guys could probably hear snoring. Thankfully it was only just over an hour and Kathmandu is fantastic. I won't update you to much on what we have been up to here, mainly because most of it has been spent in the room ill, but we love the city. The people are won...
