Oh man, this is no fun traveling while sick. It hit me again and this time it has been longer than just 24 hours. I am officially sick :( I caught a bad cold that has now gone into my chest and have a body wide rash. Boo. Zero fun especially being away from home and in a strange place. I just want to leave my hotel room and see this new town. It looks like fun! But nope - I'm stuck trying to rest up. I want to be in my own bed SO much right now! (And since my bed is in storage and I technically couldn't truly rest in it also upset me). And this is making me feel homesick too. Ugh - shake it off Elana.
Since I was sick I don't have much to say about Pokhara or much of Kathmandu. I pushed myself to walk around these cities and the gist I got from them is that they are FULL of outdoor gear stores (which I just LOVE), trekkers are roaming the streets taking a break from their multi day/week/month treks, and these cities seem like a lot of fun to explore. Pokhara is definitely more laid back compared to the busy town of Kathmandu, but although Kathmandu is busier I still really enjoyed the energy there. I think it's because there were so many outdoor enthusiasts roaming around which made me smile. I wish I could enjoy it more. I wish I could go trekking! But I had to keep on resting. :(
Here are some albums with a few pictures. Unfortunately, I have no pictures from Pokhara, because I was just too out of it to take any. But the first album are pictures from a Monkey Temple that we stopped at on our way from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Monkeys everywhere! Lots of fun. And the second album are a few shots of my time in Kathmandu when I was finally feeling a bit better.
