nights The Malla Hotel on bed and breakfast.
[Diarist: Sue]
A misty morning in Pokhara
meant that we faced a delayed flight, but in this lovely spot it was not a
problem. After a later-than-normal breakfast, we loitered around the hotel
reception reading. When the sun came out we slowly migrated outside, where some
sort of view materialised. A hazy Machupuchare and Annapurna South were visible.
After some nice
fresh coffee, we headed for the airport. Our 10:45 'Yeti Air' flight eventually
took off around 1pm ish. A seat on the left side meant that views were
memorable [for Sue, I was on the right - Ed]
all the way back to Dhaulagiri. The Himalayas were
stretching as far as the eye could see during the twenty minute flight to Kathmandu.
The afternoon was
spent around the Radisson Hotel - I used the sauna and jacuzzi, others used the
gym.
We treated Sanjeev
and Shirish to a meal out - originally planned for the 'Yak and Yeti' hotel,
but it was fully booked. Instead, we had a lovely meal at the 'Bukhara' restaurant, an excellent Indian
restaurant. The size of the naan bread was amazing - enough for eight! We
enjoyed three bottles of an Australian Shiraz-Cabernet before returning by
minibus.
