We had asked for window seats, so we could see some views ofEverest and the Himalayas. Unfortunately,none of us got window seats and Alan was the only one on that side of the plane! He had a very nice economics student sittingnext to him at the window who swapped as we were going past Everest, so he wasable to take a couple of snaps and said it would have had to have been one ofhis best flights ever!
We arrived in Kathmandu and figured out the visa system (wehad already done them online, but we still needed to pay for them). Their eftpos machine wasn’t working so we hadthe children diving into their boots for there ‘emergency’ money ha ha! They did take the last of our Singapore $$which was good.
We were met at Kathmandu by Anup and Ajit our guides for ourtime in Nepal. They walked us to thedomestic terminal to catch our flight to Pokhara. They even managed to get us on an earlierflight which was great! They both speakexcellent English and are very friendly and flexible with our plans.
After arriving in Pokhara and checking in to our hotel. Anupand Ajit took us for a traditional Nepalese Lunch – Dahl baht! Sitting on thefloor. Some of us can’t cross our legs!!
The rest of the afternoon was our own and we spent theafternoon wandering Pokhara which is very touristy and set up for the trekkingbusiness. If you want anything fromNorth Face you can get it here. Pokharaalso has a very pretty lake which we wandered along.
It was feeding time again and we were taken to a westernstyle restaurant. Lexie was very excitedthat she could order pizza!
