Journey in to Pokhara

We have finally arrived in Pokhara after what has been a bit of a mission. The protests were still on going today and we saw evidence of some of these along the way, with rocks strewn across the road.

As we arrived in Pokhara however we found that everything was closed. Some police then told us that we couldn't take our bus in to town as it would not be allowed to go past the protestors. So we had to go and park up the bus and the poor bus driver had to wait till after six to drive the bus in to town. So we then had to walk about twenty minutes into town to the lake, from there we climbed into some boats and were rowed around to near where our hotel was, this took about an hour, and then it was a short walk to the motel. We did pass the protestors along the way and it was a typical type of Nepali protest with a lot of people just standing around and not doing a lot. So it's been a long frustrating day as we had a five hour bus ride and then a difficult journey in to town. This is now being compounded as we have been waiting over an hour for our lunch to be served, it's now four o'clock and we were scheduled to have dinner at seven...
