Today was a trekking preparation day. Shopping for high energy snacks, water purification tablets etc.
We also spent some time researching the route and working out the best way to get to the start of the trek. Convenient, more expensive taxi v's cheaper local bus ... a little awkward and much longer journey.
The weather was a little cloudier today. We have our fingers crossed that the cloud disappears and we have beautiful views for our trip into the Himalayas.
Pokhara is a nice place to relax. We often sit on the rooftop drinking tea enjoy the views of the lake. We have great views of the paragliding launch site and there were so many today. When the sun was shining in the morning, we counted over 40 canopies flying.
We are trying to resist eating all of our peanut butter before actually leaving on our trek tomorrow. It is not going too well!
We ate dinner at a great little restaurant, where we chatted to some travellers we had met in Kathmandu.
