Nepal blog 7

Last Thursday we had another yoga class, this time Mr. Bharat taught us some physical moves: quite nice. Lara didn't join us: she was enjoying the sun. She and I did do some yoga on Friday though. On Saturday, Mum and I went together with Mr. Subodh to the Geriatric Center again to attend a very special day with lots of important speakers. There was a famous man, an astrologist, often seen on television, and Kali Baba was there too ;). It was kind of interesting, too bad that everybody spoke Nepali.. Luckily one of the lady's that worked there tried to translate the most important parts… In the afternoon, mum and I went to Thamel to enjoy some Italian food and to spend some time together. We got back just in time for dinner and it was a very nice one. Everybody joined us and we had popcorn for dessert. We also got our certificates that evening. Very happy with my grades :).

We left very early morning the next day and luckily the bus ride wasn't too bad. We did find out that the electricity problem in Pokhara is similar to the one in Kathmandu… so looking forward to a nice hot shower any time I want to (back home).

Pokhara is actually a very boring town during the low season. Same shops as in Kathmandu, but a little bit more expensive. The Guest house we're staying is cheap though. We asked for a room with a bath, but the bathroom was so dirty, that we switched to a shower one: even cheaper. I'm sharing the big bed - which is actually not that big - with Lara and mum is sleeping in the single bed - which is about then cm less wide than our bed. Anyway, yesterday we went to meet the Three Sisters (the organization that we're going on trek with) and the rest of the day we strolled around town and had an amazing cappuccino and dinner in this nice little restaurant. Last night it started raining and it hasn't stopped yet. Forecast tells us that tomorrow it's going to be clear and sunny - let's just hope so…

I'll be out of touch for the next 2 weeks, but I'm happy to read all your messages afterwards ;) Back in Pokhara on the 22nd of February after 13 days of hiking..

I'll be thinking of you guys when I'm in the tiny little plane tomorrow (flying to Jomsom),
