Day 39 - Disappointed

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 | By counsell | Views [306] | Comments [1]

Dye was still running off me in the cold morning shower and I look like I am constantly blushing! The streets are colourful though everyone was fast in cleaning up the plastic from water bombs. During brekkie a huge crowd went past chanting. This isn't ... Read more >

Day 38 - Holi Bloody Hell

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 | By counsell | Views [401]

Today was the Holi Festival, celebrated by throwing water, dye and paint all over each other in the streets! So being stuck in the wrong hotel with good clothes on worried the hell out of me. I had to wait until 7am when the gate was unlocked and I could ... Read more >

Arrival in Gumda

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 | By josdent | Views [1144]

We made it to the outskirts of the village by late afternoon and stopped to rest on the terraces. Mountains - or indeed foothills - aren't naturally particularly useful for farming, so over the generations the people have turned whole mountainsides into ... Read more >

Day 35 - Crazy Asia

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 | By counsell | Views [282]

Browsing through the papers this morning I caught up on the latest happenings in Tibet. It wasn't really affecting Kathmandu bar a few nervous emails from travel agents enquiring if some of the trips would still be continuing. Still, I had heard of a ... Read more >

The Road (Or Lack Thereof) To Gumda

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 | By josdent | Views [1684]

On occasion, I have been known to laugh in the face of danger, or at least snigger a bit in the face of reason. And so, food poisoning or no, I started out on the journey to Gumda early in the morning of February 12th. I had totally repacked my rucksack ... Read more >

Day 34 - Who Cares

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 | By counsell | Views [266]

I was sad to farewell Pokhara. It was even sadder to be heading back to Thamel. It took a lot of effort to get out of my warm bed, but a fresh chocolate croissant soon comforted me as I chilled out at the bus yard.  It is a small world, seating me next ... Read more >

A week in Kathmandu

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 | By josdent | Views [1158]

I had one week in Kathmandu before heading out to Gumda. Life in Papa's House follows a daily routine that's easy enough to slip into or opt out of. I had three meals a day - almost always daahl baat and vegetables - with the everyone else living in ... Read more >

First Day in Kathmandu

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 | By josdent | Views [1625]

Apologies for the delay in adding this next installment but I've been rather too busy having adventures to get chance to write about them. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Outside the airport terminal it was ... Read more >

Day 33 - From Indiana Jones to Batman

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 | By counsell | Views [429]

I had a bit of an adventure today and there was nothing better to do it in than my Indiana Jones T-shirt. In retrospect I would have probably been better off doing it in thongs over the trekking boots, even if I had to carry them. Waking early, I scooted ... Read more >

Day 32 - Sarangkot

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 | By counsell | Views [275]

I eventually did get my laundry and I must have looked pretty pissed off, because they gave me a 20rs discount. Having not even asked, I was surprised as it was the first time I had been given money for, well nothing. I usually pick up laundry around ... Read more >
