11-28-09 Kathmandu to odd it Mong

Midnight to YEK & YETI hotel-this is from the 1960s, Nepal Royal assignment of Russians living abroad Boris Lissanevitch.

Architectural beauty, exquisite will mention, there is a very interesting story. It is said that when the band built toilet cistern with high, only to find that overlooks the water. Finally, a little boy was placed in the ceiling, and a bucket of water and a monitor hole, when the Queen and the Royal family members to complete even the Royal also have to do things, as long as he or she pulled up the chain, the boys would carefully take the bucket of water into the tank, was at the time of the toilet. Decades passed, hotel after several renovations currently has a five-star, naturally there will be no more such manual toilets. But too tired, I have no interest to visit, when went to bed. But the quality is not high, the ear has been strange moaning sound and look like a cuckoo.

Get up early to go to dinner, the hotel's promenade and the door there are many exceptions fine bronze sculpture and wood carving, with years of heavy precipitation, many years have passed, the original meaning and the story behind the already known, the only craftsmen superb technology and elegant design to make us wonder.

On the first floor of the Caff has great engraved wood Windows, you can see in the early morning hours of sunshine in the garden green lawn, dew reflection pretty light, around the middle of a Wang blue swimming pool.

Many have long beak black vermilion large bird gait lazy pecking on the lawn, the side issue cuckoo calls. Oh, I thought it was this last night and Shaver disruptive sleep group, it appears that they must have made its home.

Garden behind has a very clear discussion of ponds, a few white large goose in the Shui Pin Frolic.

Our swimming pool edges found an uphill at the end of the trail, is a solemn statue. Look decent. I do not know who dedicated a team of bright red flowers, especially with the delicate and early on, but the cross and carry it in the mouth, even a bit naughty. Standing on the slope and looking down, hotel deep red brick walls and green blue contrast chenghui, this clean quiet morning, over the next few days trip full of expectation.

At nine o'clock, we set off!

Kathmandu streets do not know what is in repair or is broken, but still not a good way.

We bump up after worst of blocks, roadside rife with India's advertising, without exception is a gorgeous woman + cute kid, Bollywood actor stars big photo, optics blurred by a roadside construction barely count Shack, a few root heavy rope Sun some old style, the color gray clothes, some dirty after the housing estate of a child at play. The most amazing is the main town of little Creek, which filled with junk, no wonder in Kathmandu streets never see something like the cleaner, not to say they are the poor environmental consciousness, so spitting, littering or environmental awareness is too good to believe nature will Digest everything useless things?

Wearing gorgeous Sari woman squash into a church or temple the same place, that is their best clothes, door full ragged pauper, they do not beg, just sit quietly, serene waiting for handouts.

There is a bus pass you by, with India, never close the door (and perhaps had no door?) always hanging a is not equal to the number of people, even the roof is crowded with passengers and luggage, occasionally also see white mixed in there, it should be a family hiking backpack. To stop the car just slow but not stop, so the car of the people to go and stand on running trying to climb up. In Nepal rarely saw the fat man, this exercise is probably one reason why this is?

The car away from Kathmandu, along the circling down the mountain.

We want more from the altitude of 2000 m to an altitude of 800 metres of Chitawan. Side of the small village looks better than a lot of Kathmandu, no air of dust, can see the small building and tile, wall paintings full of various colors of symbols or advertising, although look the same very poor, people or by the roadside trees: under, or in the distant field under the banner of grass Valley, surrounded by very ugly dog lying around in the Sun, very calm.

It was a face out of favor, complaining about the messy difference along the residential areas.

This is with the eyes of the world, not a soul in the watch. He did not notice many humble cottage with all kinds of flowers, then only will use colorful pattern on the wall decorations. Nepal who wear brightly coloured colours, or Royal Blue long dress, or rose, or Golden, forehead lit red Fuk point, see our bus pass, many people will stop and send us the biggest smile to the children even shouting greetings, this is a love color, quiet and peaceful nation. It is the most lovely big trucks on the road running, mostly produced in India, TATA is not good, because art is full of colorful patterns and pleasing to the eyes, do not have a car is exactly the same, some painted mysterious Totem, some just simple flowers and cloud patterns of fish, the most fun is their horn is actually the same, there is a simple note, there is a simple tune. Parking break car from around flashed by, about and see us on his trumpet sound interested, the driver actually turned around and more in a few let us enjoy himself very happy. Visible, the world is not beautiful, but did not find beauty in the eye.

Noon to one very famous in India Temple at the foot of the lunch.

The small temple in the high mountains opposite, devout believers used to climb up on foot, the first few years of government funding to build a cable car station, every Tuesday and Saturday will attract around the believers come to Nepal. Tramway station built very beautiful, big bundles of flowers bloom, Bush also out the few naughty little animal statue, very lovely. At noon the Sun a bit more of a long length of service, not the hundreds of people, mostly dressed women, dressed in all draped paillette in a Sari, of a Grand make-up.

350RB tramway on only 500 per month

RB in Nepal is very expensive, but also in such fierce Sun for several hours, what kind of faith do? I have not, but I wish I had.

The hotel is located in the cable car station, the antique, meals, but the general theme of corn soup very warm, waiting for drifting back when we go shopping in the nearby, surprised the backyard actually keeps beautiful deer and rabbits, not afraid of people, a deer with it wet black eyes want to look at me, aside from its cage stuck to touch me, some want to eat, but are placed in a vehicle.

Had to let it down. In view of the local people do not eat these two animals, is it keeps to the children playing? interesting.

Nepal is very quiet, even in the tourist guide who don't see themselves hoarse domestic tour waving flag in front of trot, more rarely hear various time limit, they are always smiling and sheep farming, the results of the whole day we spend on the road, 170 km of the road was open from 9 am to 5: 40 pm, this efficiency is really enough to let us 囧 rz.

Although travel this is with the mind, enjoy the process of mind is important, so I pace somewhat worried that the schedule for tomorrow will not shrink?

Dark night we stay a second hotel – Chitawan paradise resort. Before we have been reminded of Nepal is a frequent power outages, because they have no power, you can only purchase of India, but these years became big in arrears, and the tariff of neighbour had to regularly pull remind.

Listen to the time when the joke, but this one night, solar, electric water heater, so there is no electricity, cold water and wash a S head, and I took a cold shower.
