So, it's a wet Saturday in Pokhara thus no stomping the streets today, just taking time over breakfast, sipping tea, more tea and, well just for a change, coffee. A kid there hovering around looking on with interest, especially at my IPad. A girl appears from behind a curtain as if by magic, hovers also. Yes, I give in eventually, giving up any thoughts of writing the blog, for now anyway.
Introducing Amrit, a boy of 10 years old and Anjali, a girl of 12 years old. They are son and daughter of the cafe owners and well, let's hear from them in their own words...

Yes, School for these two runs Sunday to Friday and they seem pretty keen for me to ride to bus and see their school.
A lull in the rain sees a mad rush towards the lake, Just in time to see the sun setting as the clouds begin to clear. The boat owners are doing brisk business again and the locals take the opportunity to do their laundry from the waters edge. An eerie mist developing across the stillness of Fewa lake away from the central area. Crows roosting while the hawkes float on the air waiting for that ultimate prize - a big juicy fish.
