Day 123. Pokhara

A rest day today. That’s all. Nah just kidding. 

It rained most of the night and it has continued today, not heavy but just enough to need a brolly. 

The low cloud and mist have also obscured the wonderful mountain vistas this place is renowned for. 

A few housekeeping chores this morning, with my 3rd haircut of the trip first up, this turned into a full head, neck and back massage, Robyn saw the guy knew what was doing so she had a massage also. We do both feel better for it. 

We sent our laundry out including our bike gear, the last few nights our less than salubrious lodgings have included various unsavoury aromas, but this hotel is pristine so the unsavoury aroma can only mean one thing!  Bike gear needed to be washed!! Its no wonder, we have been dripping wet with sweat and covered in black diesel fumes for weeks. 

A wander around the town and the lake front with real coffee and a sweet treat, we spoiled ourselves. 

It is early season here but there is a sprinkling of western trekkers wandering about the place.

This afternoon it cleared just a bit so we have had little teasers with the view.  We have also booked in another night here so hopefully we will see the mountains before we leave. 

Some pretty big mountains hidden behind that cloud.

A lovely dinner at a local restaurant and Mark is happily reunited with Everest beer after a long time lapse.
