After a 6am start (wayyyy too early!!), a 7 hour bus journey, and a taxi ride, we finally arrived at Hotel Nirvana, in Lakeside, POKHARA!!!!! The journey was far too long, but there was so much to look at on the way so the journey passed much quicker. For those of you who know Nepal, we passed Riverside Springs, Nepal's only cable car (which is now covered in NCell everything), and the big power plant place. I was VERY excited when we passed Riverside Springs, as...

Today, Liam saw DNC for the first time. We spent the morning around Thamel, eating breakfast, and we went to Mohan's (the tattoo and piercing place recommended by Lily) for Liam to see the guy and talk about a design for his tattoo. We then got a taxi up to DNC (Liam's first Nepali taxi ride), where we were greeted by Baloo the puppy who is still biting and scratching, and I then took Liam on a tour round the building. My mum had bought a load of colouring books...

Michael was there chatting to 2 ex-DNC boys, so we had a small chat with them. After lunch, we went for a wander, and I bought some more mango juice!! Can never h...

Today was the day Liam arrived in Nepal!!!! I woke up far too early (9am is too early when you're waiting for something exciting!!), so just stayed in bed for ages, trying to pass the time, then got up at about 11.30ish, to tidy my room. This morning and last night, my room was an absolute tip, with clothes all over the floor, rubbish everywhere, and the contents of my suitcase everywhere. A bit like my room at home really!! So I tidied up the litter, folded my c...
