Trapped in Nepal leisure holidays (2)

3. trapped mountain city

The night before walking back to eat dinner in the hotel, the bookstore, Internet cafes, coffee shops, arts and crafts shop is also a Zoo and in business, when we next day morning lie-in, POKARA visitors seem to suddenly have evaporated.

Sun warm dimly the mountains near Lake lovely mountain town, roadside flower still was hilarious, but all the restaurants and shops are all suddenly become desolate, and resorts. Since the Government ban on vehicle travel, empty roads and only a few old cattle leisurely powder a step, not the distant FEWA Lake still beautiful, some of the Lake at the boat because no tourists, lithe and lonely and ripples in the water. Then we remembered the last night the landlord's advice, it is estimated that most of the tourists in the village make night mountain hiking, and also there will be no more new visitors come, just me and unrepentant in this empty town. Had a little panic. But sunny here, and rare so leisurely quiet good time, we are also not particularly regret trapped here.

After returning home, we know that the situation is quite serious.

A King Gyanendra due to dissatisfaction with the Government on the party's soft approach, again repeated in 2001 and-blood bloody family style, overnight Bing Wai Cabinet and senior officials of the dissolution of the Government arrested, imprisoned Prime Minister. To avoid slip through the escaped from the country, and ordered to cut off all communication blockade roads, close to the airport, the army of martial law. But Mao party also announced mass strike, threatened to launch a new armed attack, the two sides zhanggong pull crossbow, explosive conflict. States to require protection of tourists diplomatic protest against stubborn King has no effect, the Nicaraguan blocked the message all over the world, the stranded in Nepal are reported as tourists and death of the "missing".

Heard as out of touch, family and relatives are worried.

Sell tickets to our "expert" travel agency is righteousness, comfort my parents said that they are linked to the Chinese Embassy to the rescue, and travel arrangements have been made "Zhang Manager" with a satellite telephone and other equipment from Nepal, India adventure to find entry in our line. Although we have not met "Zhang Manager", but later learned that the mind is very touching. We are just in the "expert" bought self-tour ticket, the full price RMB6000/piece, "expert" only sell 4000, plus get 1 night accommodation in five-star hotel in Kathmandu, almost no profit space, we also do not think that the "expert" sold 2 special fares must be responsible for our security; but the "expert" but not responsible for, should take risks to come to the rescue. Home I also received the travel phone, after they had lifted the danger is not assured, and trip all 36 people to confirm safe return, not feel warm.

But then we tense situation is unknown.

TV all day with hilarious cartoon numbers from the United States and India; local English newspaper would only say that some of the "China's rapid economic growth" presenting. Nicaraguan strikes we have heard, the intersection of soldiers and barbed wire has also been common, it is not particularly tense. Locals look still relaxed and calm, still warm and friendly smile. Chat with them, who also don't know what happened, only know that Government is not allowed to drive a car on the street. The current King in peoples minds in Word of mouth is good, "he is a good King, was determined to be divisible by the corruption, the reform so that killed the former King; he is really trying to do things for people. "King boss of the hotel. See, he's the King is quite trust support, but also lamented now shidao confusion, less and less tourists, tourism is a Nicaraguan unique economic pillar, locals this is not much income also greatly affected. I thought a often engage in coup engage blockade does not allow media in coverage of the truth of the King of good to go? I and LG sitting in the garden to eat, play as usual on the stage with the hilarious dance, red, Red-Green-Green actors stood a table, but only I see and LG both boss aside quietly grieving.

In addition every night that I do not know when to leave but sorrowful, living like Xanadu POKARA.

Now that can't go anywhere, we can enjoy the long holiday. I like the soft times. No destination is not the time to catch up. Morning listening to the birds wake up to bird, feel the warmth of the Sun through the curtains on the face, and turn around to sweet dream; and LG have breakfast at the FEWA PARK, scenery picturesque: the clouds Lake reflecting mountains, birds on the lake shore at low flying, wearing a couple of small boats, horse in bow and quietly eating grass. Point a 120 rupees for breakfast (15 Yuan), the boss in the Sun with a big smile and a everything served, Tea Cup, a dish of tender tender fried eggs of thick toast, jam, fries, salad, freshly squeezed fruit juice. Sunshine Freehand and sprinkled on the body, from time to time have a bird flies pecking crumbs from the table, and the whole garden, only I and LG both enjoy the delicious breakfast and boundless beauty! garden swing, breakfast to a cup of coffee in the Sun sitting on the swing, can not find what language to describe our happiness.

I like here in the heart of life.

And LG riding car (local have lent, 20 rupees/hour) at the foot of the flying all the way across the sky, across the Lake of old trees, passing a field full of rape, the ear of the oldies MP3 broadcast I Believe I can Fly, Himalayan mountain wind blows gently brush the clouds volume floating magnificent snow-capped mountains, heart like a fly in the wind; in the afternoon, have a cup of black tea to sit in the shade of a tree quietly reading a book, LG in the garden with the local people to play football, laughter, noisy, but I am immersed into the story in the book. Occasionally, looked up and saw LG ran into very defensive, smiled heart will have the feeling of warmth; in the evening, a rental of wooden vessel in FEWA Lake alone slowly shaking oar, drag the blue water and bread on long wave, brought out a bunch of sparkling Pearl, falls on theLake rippled round in a circle of Halo. Castle as Dai, FEWA Lake, silence silent, nothing, it seems too simple to be able to hear their own souls. Only wish life was so clean and quiet, never end.
