[Blast it- NEPAL]
Kathmandu and my travelling friend flew home. Walking through the unashamedly tinsel tourist town of the city, I luckily entered an alley to view a shop when a thundering blast deafened my ears as I ducked instinctively, the smell of gun powder hang in the air. It was a sobering thought to realise that hadnt I taken this alleyway I would have walked right into the flying debris of glass as the Maoists (anti monarchy) had bombed a then empty nightclub. A reality check on the problems at hand in Nepal, already 8 years on.
The beckoning whispers of the mountains breaks my resistance and I have returned to Pokhara to start a 14-18 day trek called the Annapunna Circuit, passing through 5400m. This time I am prepared for snow and ice :-)
