Well, what more is there to write? We we got up this morning our holiday was effectively over, and we just had the tedium of a looooooong journey back home again. We had a light breakfast in the hotel restaurant, then collected our cases from our room and went down to the foyer to check…
Got up at 7.30am to find that the electricity in the room had gone off; this was a regular occurrence in Nepal. It would come on for a few seconds; then go off again, so it was difficult to keep our phones charged up. When we looked out of the window we were pleased to…
Woke up about 5.00am to go to the loo; my throat was quite hoarse and tickly and I put it down to the drying effects of the air-conditioning. Went back to sleep again, then woke up at 8.00am when the alarm went off. Trevor said it had been 2.45am (!!) before the football had finally…
We had to get up at 6.00am in order to leave half an hour later for our boat trip before breakfast. We were pleased to see that it wasn’t raining when we looked out of our window; in fact, the water level seemed to have receded slightly since last night. Only four of us went…
Got up at 6.00am to the sound of the rain pounding down torrentially outside; it had been pouring down relentlessly most of the night, and the paddy fields outside our rear window looked even more flooded. We had been due to take a ride along the river in a boat made from a hollowed-out tree…
Got up at eight o’clock this morning so we could be packed, breakfasted and ready to leave at 9.00am. Realised it was 1st July – were we into the second half of 2018 already?! It was raining once again, so we donned our cagoules and made a dash for the restaurant along the paths fringed…
We got up about 7.30am and looked out of our window; we were pleased to see that the rain had abated a lot. Outside, the air smelt gorgeously of damp earth but the morning was already warm and muggy. Anal had advised us that our itinerary would change slightly today; the boat trip that was…
We were up at 7.30am after a fairly restless night, mostly because of the heat and humidity, but also because of a stray dog that seemed to have spent most of the night bark, bark, barking (I’d had to get up in the night and put in my ear-plugs). Nevertheless, we were excited to begin…
It was an early start for us this morning, as we had to be up, ready, packed and breakfasted in time to leave the hotel at 7.30am, to continue our great Nepalese adventure en route to our next hotel in the ancient village of Bandipur. Bandipur is a hilltop settlement and a municipality in Tanahun…
We were up at 7.30 this morning, despite the time-difference. Looking out of the window, we could see that rain had fallen overnight; indeed this is the start of the monsoon season, and the temperature was hot and humid, despite our 4,300 feet altitude in the Kathmandu valley. We got ourselves sorted out and went…
