Got two buses to start, and in Nepal custom tried to get ripped off for the tourist price. This stuff really annoys me and you would never get it in India. We seen everyone hand over 100rs, but when it came to us, 120rs. Haha not a chance mate!
One of our busses also seen some locals bundle their small heard of goats into the boot of the bus. As you do!
We arrived in Bashisahar, signed in at a checkpost and began our advenuture!!!! Lawrence's bag was so small as he just had his day back as he had his main pack stolen in a dorm in India. Mine was so much heavier with all my kit. Lawrence lead the way and I followed behind. The trek began walking along a dirt road. We crossed our first swing bridge and eventually made it to our first stop off, Bubhule, a small village where we called it a night. I was also in a real panic to book my flights and borrowed a guys laptop to try and book some, but was to no avail as the internet was rubbish. We found a place with free accommodation if we promised to eat dinner and breakfast. I decided to go for dhal bhat, the staple diet of all Nepalis. Dhal is lentils, an bhat means rice, and is basically just the Nepali answer to the thali. This is famous trekking found and in Pokhara there were many t-shirts reading dhal bhat power. The good thing with this is is that all the small dishes are refillable. I milked the two refills and even had the cheek to ask for a third, as I was planning to give some to Lawrence who was skimping on something cheap, before getting the dodgiest look which basically meant no.
Met a Chillean girl who was also on the trek, Lawrence and the pair talked about South America. Having travelled the world Lawrence can talk to anyone about anywhere.
