Our World Journey

Nepal

This blog decribes our 39 days of travel through Nepal (15 October 2006 - 23 November 2006). We rushed over to do the famous Annapurna hiking trail while we could still do it without guide or porter. We visited two other National Parks where did game walks and game drives and game elephant safaris - you name it! We also got to bath the elephants, paraglide, paddle down rivers, shop, eat like kings and check out some of the quirks of Kathmandu.

Pokhara

What a place to be. Everyday is perfect weather - at the lakeside where we are the streets are safe and colourful and jam-packed with great restaurants as well touristy souvenir and hiking gear shops. One can really find great food and the two of us have been living like kings - still. Janine is in her element with all the shopping and eating possibilities and there is almost no end to the activities that you can organize from this hub.

Yesterday morning Johan surprised Janine to a morning breakfast on the lake - paddling along in a hired boat! He packed in our reading material: bibles and other books (Janine: Helen Keller's 'story of my life' and Johan: Messners book entitled 'My quest for the Yeti' - both purchased in Pokhara), some food, and even the binocs. Stunning! It will be sad to go, but sometime we have to head on to Chitwan National Park so that Johan can see a tiger in the wild. But before that we first have to do a bit of flying...
