Pokhara

Since I had a bit more time to kill but not too much, I took an easy trip to Pokhara. I just did not realize that the trip would take about 7 hours. As I will have to do this trip again when I start the trek when my Singapore friends arrive, it means I will be spending quite a lot of time sitting on the Kathmandu-Pokhara bus ride. The ride is not awful but neither is the bus extra comfortable. The tourist bus seats are the typical 'Bus Kilang' seats - stiff seats with not too much leg room. As a consolation, I still get a chance to roam around a little in Pokhara tomorrow. The only consideration is whether to spend Wednesday night in Pokhara or in Kathmandu. Today after spending some time eating and looking for a guest house, there's little left daylight. I went for a stroll near the lake area and it was getting dark already. Over in Nepal, it gets dark around 5:30pm so if I wanted to do something outdoor I would have to be out a little early. Quite likely, I will just rent a boat for half a day tomorrow and row around the lake. I hope I will not get wet because I don't really have any extra stuff to change into.
