Milk tea in Nepal.

And now were in Nepal! My goodness, we spent a day in Kathmandau where we shopped for the requitite fake North Face clothes (we all have identical zip-off-at-the-knee trousers, its hilarious!) and bizzare wooly hats (sexy). We also had to go get a permit as we wanted to trek in the Annapurna reigion, so we had to find the Annapurna Conservation Area Project office to purchace this. Obtaining the permit itself was easy enough, but finding the office involved a bizzare, frustrating and frankly, frightening encounter with rickshaws and busy traffic that now it is over was an 'experience' and added to the rich tapestry of character building encounters that backpacking involves.

But Kathmandu is very crowded and touristy so we were glad to head out to Pokhara to start our trekking, which is where we are now and hopefully off soon to complete the Annapurna Sanctuary trek. There is limited internet in the Himalayas so we'll post after were done and will have loads of awesome pictures (as long as its Sadie behind the camera, not me) Also it's really expensive to drink here in Nepal so were tee total while were here, so we'll let you know how that goes!
