Rearranging our plans

Heya!

It’s me again – this time from Pokhara, Nepal. We left Kathmandu on Monday, hoping that we would leave the dust and smog of that city behind us as well… But that didn’t really happen, it seems to be some kind of a fog coming up here from Rajasthan, covering the whole of Nepal. It’s bit sad, really, that we can’t even see the mountains, but at least it rained a couple of times in the last days (the first rain I’ve come across in nearly two months!!!), clearing it all up a bit…

However, I sadly have to admit that – after having been in Nepal for almost a week now – I have felt rather sick most of the time: first it was simply a headache due to the foggy smog in Kathmandu, then a pretty bald cold came along, resulting in a rough two days spent in bed with fever and – again – diarrhea (thought I had left that behind in India, haha). So that’s where I am now: the fever is gone, but I’m still terribly weak and nauseous. And I started to become terribly frustrated because I want to explore this country, go trekking, be outdoors, enjoy the mountains… and instead I’m stuck in the hotel room. So that was why, today, we had the brilliant idea to extent our stay in Nepal and skip our little trip to Varanasi (too much hassle to get there anyway). This way, I’ll have enough time to actually be in this country and get to know it before I fly out to yet another country – Thailand. Two weeks are just not long enough for Nepal, especially if you fall sick…

So, I guess that’s all my news, keep your fingers crossed for me guys that I’ll quickly recover my strength so that I can hit the trekking paths soon!

Cheers, and speak soon!
