Tuesday 19 Feb 2013 Pokhara


Woke up this morning still feeling pretty rough but at least caught up on sleep with a good 9 hours. Opening the front door I was confronted by the peaks of the Annapurnas. Fishtail mountain (on left) and Annapurna IV (on right) are impressive.

We thought it best to go and find a Pharmacy and on the way passed the lake where people were washing themselves, their hair and their clothes at the lake edge.

The drink of the trip so far is the hot Lemon and Honey drink they serve in Nepal.

Today was the general strike where all vehicles are banned from the roads. We heard that a Tourist Jeep was stoned.

We returned to the hotel and continued with the updating of the netbooks. It is taking too long. One of the updates is going to take 22 hours to download! Anyway we have got them to a manageable stage and will need to do the others in the village.

If there is one thing about Nepal, it teaches you patience.
