Arrived!

Hey everyone :) So I have finally arrived in Pokhara phew!  Journey to Kathmandu was long but very peaceful so praise God for that. I was collected from the airport by Raj who owns the guest house I stayed at, he gave me a speedy commentary of Kathmandu as we travelled to the guest house.  The streets in Kathmandu are buzzing, there was just sooooo much to take in at first.  I had a little time to explore the area around where I was staying so ended up meeting a guy called Subash in one of the side shops who invited me for some milky tea (very sweet but lush), we chatted for a long time about our different cultures and lives.  Subash is a prime example of many Nepali people I have met so far, very welcoming and friendly.

I had a 6hour bus journey today to Pokhara which was fun, very interesting to see people about their everyday lives and we travelled through some amazing scenery.  As we approached Kathmandu you could see more clearly the Annapurna range - amazing! Pokhara seems less manic than Kathmandu it feels a bit cleaner and more spacious I think.  I've got 2days ahead of language training and exploring with Krishna so I'm looking forward to getting to know Pokhara more.  Oh the background picture of my blog is of Pokhara - it really does look that beautiful.

Once my training is finished I'm off to stay with a family about 6km away from Pokhara centre and don't have internet access so will only be updates when I can travel back to Pokhara.  I hope you're all well, remember to keep me posted how you all are and what's happening back home.

Much love x
