Escape from Kathmandu

September, first weekend

It is well known: living in Kathmandu is not easy and requires a spirit of adaptation that not everyone has.

And even if you are adaptable as Canadian campers ... every now and then you have to get away!

 

Very happy to avoid the tiny taxi and travel in a comfy jeep, we packed our stuff.

After two hours of terrible roller coaster we reached the magic, peaceful, resort.

Probably my car sickness did not know that it should not have been appeared, as we were traveling on a rather comfortable car. Despite our friend's expert driving and fastened seat belts, I bumped my head several times because of the deep holes on the road.

During the trip we had some breaks due to car and animal traffic.

Peaceful enviroment . Crazy climbing.

After a good night of tight sleeping, away from the sounds of the city, we all went out for a lovely walk.

A couple of hours of walking, uphill, but not really trekking. Everyone was happy to reach the temple, the goal for our pic nic. Pleasant walk, very nice company...the girl enjoyed the experience as well: she never complained for the fatigue!

When we arrived at our destination, we greedily shared the

food and hoped that the threatening rain would not come.

Rain that in the meantime has arrived, raising and making 

the trail slippery and muddy.

 On the way back it was fun to

 bet on who would fall again. 

It's a little less fun to take off 

the disgusting leeches that fast

jump on us.

Useless say that, once at the

 resort, we really appreciated the hot shower and the early

dinner we enjoyed together.

Unfortunately all our clothes and shoes were soaked:

impossible wearing them the day after...
