Strik(ing)

Hi all,
First of all, be happy we are alive. We got to pokhara last night at 3 am after a very intense bus ride, by all means. It is inssssaaannnnneeee. What they call a highway is barely a road, and we were high up in the mountains so we could see the canyons all the way down, so scary. The comfort of their buses is quite amazing too. How to describe....a piece of wood covered in fabric is pretty accurate.
But Pokhara is fantastic, the city is extremely pretty, the lake is beautiful, we just took a boat ride to a temple in the middle of it. We had real western food and checked in a nice hotel. It is very touristic here, more westerners than nepalis but still very charming. We found a man that was with us in Lumbini already. We're gonna stay a few days here as there is a lot of things to do and see, paragliding, massages and trekking is on the program.
I got some cool shirts and new clothes so I look like a hippie.
Anyway, it is very nice to be back in a somewhat civilised town. Looking forward to go to Kathmandu.
Lots of kisses.
