A Journey from the Madhouse to the Asylum

Rocky Mountain High

NEPAL | Friday, 3 October 2008 | Views [328] | Comments [4]

We flew into kathmandu a week ago, a massive difference to Delhi (only minor hassle and much cleaner!!). Unfortunately Andy has been quite ill (Man Problems!!!!, but has perked up considerably the last couple of days. Andy saw 3 doctors and got 3 different diagnosis, eventually one of them must guess right, I suppose! A week in a city nearly drove us mad.  We have now moved on to Pokhara which is heaven!!! We have a 3rd floor room in a lovely hotel with uninterupted views of the lake from our balcony (that's not entirely true, there are loads of water buffalo messing around in the mud pools between our hotel and the lake).  If we look to the left we can see snow capped mountains, they look soooooooooooooo close, but they can't be as the temp. here is about 35 degrees C.  Neither of us are that impressed with the food in Nepal and are looking forward to some Goan cooking.  It's also impossible to get ice-cold drinks here but what the heck, it's tough but for your sakes we'll put up with it!

Distinct lack of monkeys in Nepal only seen 1 since we arrived, but we did see a herd of goats yesterday - ON THE ROOF OF A BUS IN THE CENTRE OF KATHMANDU (What do they eat??). 

We might take a rowing boat on the lake tomorrow, 200 rupees boat hire and if required 50 rupees for a man to row it, guess what? You're right, Andy's not rowing and neither is Shirley!!!

TTFN, take care all.

Shirley and Andy.

Nepal is a far cry from my break in Cornwall, temp. 10 deg, wind speed - gale force, and got a thorough soaking in Boscastle!! Had a great time though. Glad Andy has recovered, obviously needs a break in the sun!! Have you managed to see Everest yet? Jan xx

Hello you two!

Aww poor Andy. I hope that you make a full recovery very soon. In fact, it's been a while since you posted this blog so I bet you're already back to normality.
Take pics of monkeys! I wanna see them. :-)
Been madly busy at work-yep, it's that time of year again!
I am off to Saou tomorrow for a few nights with Leanne. Not as hot as Kathmandu but it'll do for a rest! Might even have a break from my "no drinking" rule for a short while! lol

Miss ya and love ya lots.
