2006 Spring Nepal Travels (Elementary to l)

Day3 2006-1-31

6: 30 in the morning, the locals come to our live GH took us to travel, location in everyone travels often mentioned that street in the West, it seems that all the cars are set off from here, there is no any signs, the only difference is that there are many bus stops.

10 points more cars into a rest stop, and so I came back from the toilet, companion shouted to eat breakfast, said asked car a responsible person, is free, not only the Green line has free breakfasts, 13 USD value here.

Walk into the restaurant, carefully observed, and the car of the locals dine there, "should be free, because they eat and we have milk, meat, if you want money, local people do not eat these, your son," I thought.

Foreigners with car is only one point had a cup of hot chocolate drink, I also and companions explain their said past travel I found that very few foreigners in the middle of dinner, very careful.

Surprised by things to come, when we finished ready to get on the train, the boy took a copy of the invoice to pay us.

After a half hour of difficult negotiations and call back and sell tickets to our travel company discovered that things like this: we have 5 people, of which four were to rafting, last night spent US $ 13 buy tickets, money was to tourist companies, this car is only responsible for sending us to rafting; we have another person not drifting, but want to take the car to bokhara, she is in the car are now buying the tickets.

Buy the ticket, you can enjoy free breakfasts, but our 13 u.s. dollars is paid to the travel company, future travel company will then have to pay a coach company, but it does not include breakfast.

When my companions asked car that maintain order guy this breakfast is free of charge, the young man is on the buy his ticket girl said free.

This is strange, I too careless, take breakfast should ask restaurant, clear rules of the game, because the car of their English is not good, old and light, so complicated things, he could not understand him, who bought him the car ticket he is unclear (car have separate conductor, but do not know when to get off), he only knew that the car can be parked here, here's a free breakfast.

Although the company later tried to buy from our tourist companies of the ticket up on English grammar, said recovered with Meats, is plural, should not be just the free lunch, but I soon realized that this matter we wrong.

The breakfast was of opponents, and 4 personal, bills on 770Rs. In addition, this is a great giant expensive a breakfast, no way.

Disputes settled, I get on the train when cool on the foreigner has opened quietly "Sorry", because we all here delayed at least half an hour, all of the source or our own carelessness.

We at outside China people's image, these basic courtesy is supposed to have.

The thing I learned is that the foreigner's caution is justified, they really ought to learn later, myself with food, nor in a strange place for dinner, the like this time they only had a drink, then how opponents, also not in pain.

Here again, by the famous Green line, all the people sitting around him, including his dining place of beauty, so, if you are not too expensive, then about the CityGuide can choose Green line.

Drifting from our places to eat and not far away, perhaps half an hour, we arrive at 11 o'clock.

A car, only to find the three with the car turned out to be a foreigner and a boat drifting, I and they simple exchanges, they came from the Scot, 2 days of rafting, maybe my English isn't very good, so one of them though and I chat, but also simply by asking a few words would suffice, but they seem to be better than we are confused, they do not know the drifting only 3 hours.

The helmsman put waterproof bucket took over, asked us to only the most important things in it, such as money, passport, all other things aside from their land to the end.

There is also a good time to take things to streamline and streamline (Companion of a camera and video camera was allowed to drop into the water tank, then we have left in drifting in a few rare photos).

This time I will be in big trouble with children, at home, because there is no place for me to get out of sandals and slippers in the large backpack is not good, and a wicked son, has a, let foreigners see we Chinese people can play too, off winning, barefoot and go rafting (of course, because you want to go some way to the River, or wear a pair of socks).

Facts prove that I am better than the locals also the local people, just across the River, walk through farmland, fortunately just slashed once, otherwise, it is even.

Propose later, rafting in the best wearing sandals, slippers best incompetent or go rafting (my companions to do so, very safe, don't have to worry about rafting trip down the River on your slippers will, of course, unless you fell into the water), on the shore, specifically.

On board, the pilot (the captain) to us on a number of passwords, the sailor's English is very good, they are very good and the three Scots exchanges, we are working on end ears to try to catch those key password, if half the way to follow the password, but would be a problem.

Because we are a total of seven individuals (4, 3 of aliens), therefore, in addition to the helmsman, but also up a local oar hand, there is also a separate designated canoe in the previous proposal for guidelines.

I don't know whether it was when the domestic drift in front of discovery, but I think he's role is very large: first, by looking at him, we can perhaps understand the difficulty of following a torrent

, There is a psychological preparation beforehand; second, in case someone falls, canoe can quickly save, this is our big rubber raft to flexible. Third, the canoeing sailor put on equipment, good handsome Oh, now and in the front to do some things, even lay in a canoe on the rest of the indexes to the sounds of screams MM with everybody.

12 point drifting started.

At first, the surface of the relatively calm, helmsman of the transform the password from time to time, so that we become familiar with these passwords, by observing, adjust me and another foreign girls, I sat on the starboard side. The preceding several torrent, helmsman was intentional action so that the rubber raft torrent from the side hit us, so that each of us gradually become familiar with the feeling of peak-peak and Valley. We are a mess, at the material time, it is often busy hiding Crest, grasping rope and forget to paddle, I feel it can across the crest is basically the result of actions properly the helmsman is indeed a very professional.

Here is 3A + level is relatively low, and low water season, now it is more difficult, but even so, we still have a head-on by torrent, the whole ship poured into screaming in the moment, very stimulating, fortunately, we have the whole ship nobody fell into the water.

Description of the process on drifting, I once saw a travelogue of very aptly described, I have no words to express, but there are a number of drifting really is very good, very fun (although not much water now), I came across the drifting of the travelers also praise, so far, the helmsman that swept through the slogan "Forward", "up", "Left Left back," and "Stop", "Hard ..." and then still reverberate in my ears (do not go, I sat in the right side).

I sincerely recommend every one to go to Nepal travel of people are going to try rafting.

3 point ashore, because if it's too late, it didn't go to bokhara car, but the three foreigners because tomorrow is drifting to continue moving forward, so by the sailors in-place to rest their tents.

Our luggage arrived here already, but my socks, fortunately, is a professional hiking socks, although the appearance of indecent, no rupture, hastened to roadside shop proprietress get a plastic bag to put my wet socks, bellies filled in the Sun.

In the bus, because everyone is busy with the changing clothes, I can not find other people, so I paid the helmsman 150Rs tip, he points to two other sailors 50Rs per person, sincere appreciation they brought me a valuable experience.

The local people is really simple, 50Rs should be a very big number, I hear the helmsman in excitement to roadside shops hostess talk, but he did smuggled to swallow the money, then get on the train, he went out to me that he will be distributed to other people, and I saw him do so.

4 pm, they stopped into a local bus.

The car in addition to the drivers, conductors and a responsible lanke guy, our four tourists, they tell us about the 7 p.m. to get to bokhara.

The car all the way teenagers, all checkpoints to above only tourists, some even look at the release.

They do not stop on the road lanke, even as we sat in the car and tried to raise prices, because I hear a ticket to the middle of the train local people to explain this car has become the Tourist bus, checkpoint does not check that will arrive, so to charge some money, it's quite funny, but also for the first time felt the Nepal tourist importance.

Evening 6 points, because this car on people too few (local people, most of the time this car for our 4 passengers), their parking no longer go, they go to another on a Local bus.

This is a Local bus that took a lot of people, my first car, the smell, say, really leaning back with a whole human being smoked out of feeling, quickly remind MM do later.

The four of us sat down this is the last row, the girls began to complain about our what type of car seat.

Outside it was already dark, sits in front of the local people someone showing off his new mobile, I sat quietly, the mind is still drifting.

Rafting on these after we are not alone in the car to us to collect the money, maybe the helmsman had been paid, maybe for them, a few la Dora a distinction.

There has been no mobile phone signal, I now cannot know those without drifting has reached bokhara Companion.

This trip, peer companions are "independent", this would make me somewhat worried. On the road, lost is very difficult to contact, if the trip does not agree, do not walk, alone, be found now in as a Group, the same into the same retreat. Fortunately, I let the first companions to GH, but we arrived at the l too late, do not know if I can find them.

The car was very punctual at 7 pm arrival boccara, a car, but there are so many of the locals, we found 4 personal towing large package packet burst crowd, looking for a clean, TAXI, taxi going to the conventions to meet GH.

Maybe is some tired drivers behind busy to put luggage trunk, I hang neonate handsome station on the right side of the door, he saw him busy, I reached for the drive door, peer laughed out of the sound, wants, and I forgot the driver is seated on the right side, I open the wrong door, I myself couldn't help laughing.

Just get on the train, a person from driving a motorcycle, loudly asked us to do so and so's friends, or we'll reach a man the CityGuide think week road for some people, GH to meet us (our Group of people from Canada are divided into three groups reach boccara, imprints infants).

Angel Guest House, Chinese people often live in GH, usually Dayong will introduce people to here.

Here is a small garden, 300Rs standard roomThe housing is very clean, but the most I like is that the room there are a variety of beverages, prices and stores as of (water-15Rs, Coca-Cola-20Rs), when the last knot can't afford that, together with the card very much easier for my son and so lazy. Angel Guest House is what I have been living in bokhara, no longer changed.

Your partner is still too expensive here, touch the black to find other GH, I and another boy left, in this way, our Group of people and spread, I always feel that this is not good.

They find in the standard room, 200Rs shared equally, a person also saves 50Rs, less than RMB 7 bucks. Come out to play with, like all of our tours is not very rich, but too frugal you will lose the joy of travel, every day, most of the time spent is not value in this regard. Another potential hazard is lost contact with a partner, fortunately, Nepal, otherwise, really worrying.

Break up front, I gave my radios for their part, are used for emergency contact (here I send text messages to their basic is the CV 's), I and roommate boy and another girl went to the streets to dinner together.

Ate ate, walkie-talkie rang, I do not know is the signal is not good or they will not be used, in short, I could hear them, they hear me, "tomorrow at 6 points, XX, Wizard has arranged, tomorrow on foot", such a big thing, they have determined that made me upset.

Dinner with me because of the holidays of boys and girls, 4 February will be back, so they only have 1 day walking time, meal, I accompany them together into a travel agency.

Because I have friends all over Nepal before, you will typically be in the previous night and discuss in detail the wizard walking plan every day.

Like the travel agency practice, they are to my friend details each step of the journey, including cars, eat, live, for example, you can select what grades GH, to spend money on each of these places will express it. Think LP on handling the mountain pass to 9 a.m. can handle, but I will point to the mountain 6? listen more, more and more anxious, the girl so soon decide one thing? days ago by deceived experience I had with the exception, not by them, SMS back, walkie-talkie not back, I got mad. ....

Please continue to pay attention to the splendid boccara.
