Phewa Tal, the lake in Pokhara. It was beautiful. |

Mmmmm honey and lemon tea |
Up up and away! I dont think we have ever moved so fast out of a place! we had planned to grab breakfast but as soon as we were out of our hotel some one came up to us "you go to Pokhara?". We went on a local mini bus, it was abit bumpy but overall was a nice ride. They dropped us off in Pokhara and after learning our lesson well we had read up what the best thing was to do when we got there. We got a taxi to lakeside, be warned the taxi man tried to take us sight seeing so just be clear what you want and where you want dropping. YAY tourists. We got lunch at a really nice korean restaurant and booked our selves in at Butterfly lodge (which we had read about in the lonely planet guide). It is very nice ! Every one is lovely and khem who owns the lodge is particularly lovely and speaks English amazingly well. We just spent the Day wondering around and settling in. In the evening we shared a buffet selection type meal and both tried our first lassies, banana flavoured (they taste similar too milkshakes). This is when a waiter commented on how rubbish we were at cricket. The night life here seems more lively and lots of places were playing loud music and had multi-coloured fairy lights outside. We wondered down the street and past a young Indian man who was handing out leaflets, "you sisters" he shouted "yes yes we are!" we replied happily. A little further down the road some one else also stated the same thing. "hmm this is weird, why does every one know were sisters!?" After walking around abit, seeing a rather cute dog and the locals all lighting candles in the street with a sign 'pray for Japan' we went to a restaurant by the lake which was too expensive for us to have dinner there but we could manage an a apple crumble and tea. They had dances performing for everyone, they were very good ! and really enjoyed it. But at the end they came down and tried to get every one else to come up and dance.At first we said no, but then we didn't want to be party poopers so went up. It was a strange experience, my partner was lovely but I really had no idea what I was doing. I was happy to look over and also see Giselle looking just as scared as I imagined I did. It was fun though. Once the song had finished I said thank you. "you wait for me after" ahhhh god (sure my facial expression was similar to what I was thinking) "um yea." I didn't wait for him and do feel a little bit bad but I was scared of him and feel the situation would of just been a little awkward. Later on Giselle stated "maybe he just thought you were really good at dancing and thought you had potential." I doubt this a lot, but who knows future career maybe ?
