Woke at 6am ready to go to our st teaching lesson at 7am. We walked back up the steep path that we had trodden the prevous night to find 9 children there. We'd not had time to plan anything but we muddled through. Back at the house we helped to unravel the silk worm cocoons from loads of ferns as they were going to be taken into pokhara for sale. Then at 11.30 Pradip and Keso took us up the hills to see the view of the Pokhara valley - words can't describe the view of both sides of the valley at the same time and I know that the photos won't do it justice. I've never waked so much up and down the dales - I'll certainly be fit at the end of this leg of my journey.
Had lunch and a well needed kip and then we decided to brave the shower facilities at the public natural spring. In Nepal you have to be respectable when showering and usually the locals where a lunghi but I left my sarong in sri Lanka so I had to shower wearing my t-shirt and a wrap around skirt - it's not easy trying to wash your private bits fully clothed and being watched by the local kids who found it extremely amusing. It was good to feel clean again though - albeit briefly as we had to walk back up the hill in the heat and then back up another hill to the library to teach the evening class of older children - so sweating buckets again!. this is what you call 'Experiencing Real Nepal!'
More tomorrow. love Sue
