14 March. Saturday. Tourist bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu.

06.00 wake up call with my last coffee served!
06.30 with a taxi to the busstation. Asta was already in the kitchen, asking me if I wanted a coffee, but I did not had time: I really had to go.
Pashpati, Rohit, Kayshani and Gomaya did say last night that they might be there to say goodbye to me this early, but again in a way I am happy they are not. It is already hard enough to leave, without more hugs, tika's, goodbyes. Just let me go away quietly, I will be back soon anyway.

The busdrive to Kathmandu took us 7 hours. A bit of sleeping on the way, watching the scenery.
Bye bye Nepal, see you soon.

Arriving at Kathmandu I took a taxi (my bags are too heavy) to the Mandap hotel. Ahhh, welcome back ma'am. How are you? We have a nice room for you.
And they did: a room with orangy-brown walls, which makes it a 'warm' room, a bed where you could sleep in with easily 4 persons instead only me. AND electricity all day.

A shower, a refreshing and on my way to the H.E. office to report Trouble is back in town.
Namaste, how are you? How was Pokhara?
Toni is indeed in Kathmandu, we are going out for dinner tomorrow evening. So, I had to reschedule my dinner at Dill's house: we will go to his home tomorrow afternoon for lunch.

I spend the day walking through Thamel, sending emails, updating the website, reading, relaxing, sleeping a bit.

Dinner in the New Orleans Cafe and back to my room. An early night, after all the 'excitement' of the last few days in Pokhara and the bus journey of today.
Around 22.00 lights out!
