Poking Around
Pokhara
 It’s fascinating just what you get
used to, Bear is still mystified why cows choose to lay in
the middle of the road. Well, they could find a
grassy bit at the side. I guess they like smooth, warm tarmac as
opposed to itchy, dry grass. We carry on musing.
     The ‘unfinished’
look is fast becoming the norm along with dusty streets.
 I bought one of those exact backscratchers in a Chinese shop on the Barbican in
Plymouth for a pound. Currently Velcroed to the wall behind where I sit on Beez,
still very much a prized possession.
  Near the lake we find a motorbike shop
specialising in the Royal Enfield.
  We bimble along the High Street and
take in the local craft. We find a splendid book shop
and Bear bought me a Helm Birds of Nepal, really inexpensive at five pounds
fifty (later I find out is was indeed cheap because a newer version is available
at twice the price). Well, it’s the thought that
counts. Oh, indeed Sir, indeed......... Never, a
KFC.
  And a Safeways, with incredibly dusty and expensive bottles of
booze on the top shelf.
  We loved this end of town, loads of shops to poke around in, street vendors and a
fixed price clothing shop. Bear must have guilty about my book as he bought me a
pair of cotton trousers for two pounds and a really smart pair of linen cargo
trousers for two pounds and seventy pence. Wow, I’m a lucky
one......
 After a few hours it was time to get
back to our view.
ALL IN ALL A PLEASING LITTLE
TOWN
LOVELY PLACE WITH A LAKE AND DEEP IN THE
