After finishing the Everest trek, I spent a day or two in Kathmandu resting a tired body and filling up on pizzas, steak and cheese cake, luxuries that are non existent in the Himalaya. I said goodbye to Stef and took a bus to Pokhara, Nepal's second biggest town. There is a much more relaxed atmosphere to Pokhara. Did some fishing and swimming in the lake in Pokhara and an awful lot of chilling out. After three days in Pokhara I was ready to tackle trek number two: Annapurna Circuit. 

For the first week I trekked with Mary Ann (USA), Mona (Canada) and Jason and Dave (England). The first week was pretty much all uphill as we made our way to the main goal of the trek - the 5416 metre high Thorung La pass.
