Pokhara and exit Nepal

The last week of Nepal wasn't the best week of Nepal. As I mentioned before, there where strikes going on so there was no possibility of going somewhere or doing something. You could rent a bycile but the prices where way to high. All the tourist where renting them so prices went up up up. You couldn't rent a motorbike or scooter, no taxi's and no busses to Kathmandu. With some effort you could manage to get breakfast or a sandwich, but most of the day you do nothing. We where able to rent a boat to peddle on the leak, but that was no fun with 5 of us in a small boat. We are Gavin and Sunmi, Marty and Sarah and Me.
In the evening you had a window of 2 hours where you could do some shopping and get dinner. Which isn't much on a daily bases. Although most Nepalese where really nice and where very helpful in guiding what to do and where to go. After 4 days I and Marty and Sarah had enough, we didn't know how long this would go on. We booked plane-tickets to Kuala Lumpur and tickets from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Good bye Nepal, lets go somewhere nice with 24 hour electricity and hot showers.
Somewhere in the last few days I got sick AGAIN from eating bad food. Belly problems and all, the result is a lot of toilet visits, head or ass first or some times both at the time.
I like Nepal a lot and will definitely come back for some more trekking, rafting and the National Wildlife Parks, all the things I would love to have done while I was there. But for now this was it. We went in the morning from Pokhara to Kathmandu, then needed to wait 7 hours till my flight to Dhaka, Bangladesh, where I needed to wait 6 hours for my flight to Kuala Lumpur. Where Marty and Sarah arrived as well around 7 in the morning (their flight was via Delhi).
