Already Wednesday!!!

Hi All,

And then it is already Wednesday!!
Again a 'quickie' and now I do promise in a few days you will get a proper update WITH pictures.
Chitwan was fantastic! Elephant tour with Rhino and some deer.

But the village tour and school visit was really really special.

Yesterday we were in Lumbini: the birthplace of Buddha.
A beautiful place, as you can imagine, very peaceful and spiritual.

This morning we went with our private driver (yes, I know, posh) on our way to Pokhara (where we stay now for at least 10 days, until Rita2 has to go back). We got hold up in a roadblock, but one of the village boys was so kind to come in the car with us to show the driver a way around it. And it certainly was a way around, we lost about 1 and a half hour!!! Road suddenly stopped,
then we had to cross a river











a tractor had an accident so our driver and the village boy ended up helping them taking huge stones from the road till we could move on.









Finally at 14.00 we arrived in Pokhara, where we were heartily welcomed by the staff of Himalayan Encounters. Now we are really settled in our Pokhara Penthouse, time to relax and the day after tomorrow we will go and see the kiddies.
Rita2 is having a bad cold and I have to go and see a dentist tomorrow, after that we will go and see the children!!! Will be a big surprise, they do not know that I am IN Pokhara already. Let's bring the tissues out again.

So far the weather has been fantastic: a lot of sunshine, we are already getting some colour on our faces and arms. Please do not complaint or shout at me when I come back, I know that I am loosing some weight again, I will try not to loose too much weight okay? But I DO eat 3 times a day and I DO feel great!!! And that is what counts, hoina?? (isn't).

We have a few more hours of electricity here in Pokhara, so I will be able to start to write more frequently and in a few days you will get more details WITH the promised pictures from me.
Also now I am travelling together with Rita2 and do not want to spend too many hours at the Internet in the limited time we have together. I am sure you will understand.

I am keeping record of all the prices, things to do, hotels etc. for the trip for next February. I am looking forward to make an itinerary together with Himalayan Encounters for the people who want to come with me next February!!
Come along with Sanghita Travel: Destination NEPAL in cooperation with Himalayan Encounters.

Love you and leave you for now,
but will see you soon!!!
