We were glad to get up at 5:30am for our departure back to Kathmandu where we changed to a tourist bus outside the American Embassy. I originally was allocated a decent seat 2 rows back but decided to move to the seats 5 rows back.To my luck I chose the window seat, directly above the rear wheel and permanently reclining (almost 90's in Irf's lap after the 7 hour journey). The journey was a softer version of the Delhi death run however the Indian trucks and the horns, provided us with vivid flashbacks of that night of the 17th.
Alas after a breakfast and lunch stop later we arrived in Pokahara and to our room which we were lucky enough to be given a delux (3 beds and AC if only we could find the remote). Anyways this was paradise in comparison to the previous night and the views of the Mountains and lake made us feel that we had finally got away from the pollution and touts that we have seen in Nepal. Although a quick trip to find the ATM (which was broken) proved that you can never get away from harrasements. Had dinner in the hotel while traditional music and dancers performed in the background. Amanda opted for "something north of the border" while the lads went for tomato and cheese naan pizza. After we retired to the room to finish packing before we turned off the light at 9pm.
