Pokhara's tranquil Phewa Lake. . Most things to do in Pokhara are centered around the lake. Restaurants, bars, boats, skies filled with paragliders... If you zoom in, you'll even see the World Peace Pagoda on the top of the opposite hill. . . . . . . . . . @nepaltourism @canonusa @tamronusa @canonindia_official @tamronindia #visitnepal2020 #phewalake #pokhara #pokharalakeside #Nepalmornings #blueskies #ripples #travelsinnepal #travelstories #bbctravel #ngtindia #ngtuk #lonelyplanet #lpfanphoto #lovetheworld #thegoodlifewithiq Hello, Pokhara! . I'm not all that into street art, but this little fellow peeking around the corner in the Lakeside area of Pokhara caught my eye! . . . . . . @nepaltourism @canonindia_official @tamronindia @canonusa @tamronusa #visitnepal2020 #northstreetcafe #pokhara #nepalthings #goodmorning #peekaboo #travelsinnepal #pokharalakeside #streetart #streetartinNepal #travelsinnepal #worldtravel #wanderwell #travelstories #TravelBloggerLife #thegoodlifewithiq The scene of our second flat tyre, about an hour and a half short of Pokhara. Again, a lovely setting, but the sun was going down and it was getting cold. Also, a comedy of errors meant fixing the tyre took longer than anticipated. Come thee closer, and I will tell thee this most wondrous tale! . After our first flat in Mugling, our driver had changed the tyre, but obviously thought he'd get the flat fixed later. Bad idea. While driving along, we rattled over what we thought was a bad patch, only to realise that the spare had gone flat, too. Crap. So our driver unbolted the wheel and carried it off in search of a repair shop, leaving us and the car by the roadside. Luckily, he quickly found a kind local who volunteered to take him to a repair shop on his scooter, if only our driver would buy him a little petrol. So off they went on the scooter, our driver, the local, and his dog (!). After a while, while we were having ourselves some tea at a little shop nearby, we saw them zoom past again in the other direction. The tea seller wasn't surprised. It seems they'd gone in the wrong direction the first time. Ha. We waited and waited and waited, debating whether the delay was a good sign or a bad one. Finally, the three of them (the dog, remember?) arrived, with another scooter ahead of them. It seems the local's scooter had run out of petrol on the way, and they had to try and find some before getting to the repair shop. OK, they managed all that and got back. But where was the tyre? It seems the two gents on the scooter ahead of them had kindly consented to carry the fixed tyre back (why they did wasn't clear). Unfortunately, they'd misunderstood where they were supposed to drop off the tyre, and left it a few hundred metres back up the road. Argh. So our driver cheerfully trotted back up the road and fetched it. Once he had bolted it back on, washed his hands and bundled us back into the car, we were on our way. The whole thing had taken a little more than half an hour. . Remember, dear reader, that the other tyre hadn't been fixed yet. Luckily, though, the others held out until we got to Pokhara. Whew! . . . . #visitnepal2020 #thegoodlifewithiq #travelstories Mugling, the site of our first flat tyre between Kathmandu and Pokhara. . Not a bad place for a flat, all things considered. As long as someone else is doing the fixing 😀 . . . . . . . . . . @nepaltourism @canonusa @tamronusa #visitnepal2020 #suspensionbridge #mugling #kathmandutopokhara #nepalroadtrip #tirshuliriver #mountainvistas #mountainman #ariverrunsthroughit #memories #travelsinnepal #worldtravel #mistymountains #rockyriver #afternoonview #travellerstories #bbctravel #ngtindia #ngtuk #lpfanphoto #natgeotravel #canon_photos #lovetheworld #thegoodlifewithiq
