We travelled for 6 hours from Pokhara on the Tourist bus to Kathmandu. We hoped to pick up another tourist bus to our final destination Nagarkot. The tourist bus did not terminate at the bus park but landed us in a street who knows where in Kathmandu to cope with about 10 taxi drivers hassling us for a fare. We asked the price to Nagarkot and they seemed to fix it at 2500 Rp (£20). We started walking away with our heavy cases towards the imaginary bus park when ...

Sunday morning from Chitwan we took the local bus to Pokhara, where we will be settled for a couple of weeks. We passed the marijuan* fields and the elephant dung paper shop (should have written my resignation letter on that!).
