The Adventures of Betty and Christina: Woke up, had massive breakfast, hired a boat to paddle us across Tal Phewa (so peaceful! I miss fishing!), hiked up through villages to the World Peace Pagoda (under ominous looking thunder clouds as you can see), trekked down the other side, stopped along the way for a refreshing Coke, walked down a long windy road, tried unsuccessfully to flag down local buses (looking like idiots in the process), got stung by poison ivy-like plant (I can't remember the last time this happened to me??), wandered aimlessly along the main road with our rain jackets on, the wind picking up and the thunder booming (being gawked at by locals) until we came to a more populated area and found a local bus that we caught for 50 rupees (about $.75) that dropped us off near lakeside where we found a cafe and sat down to some hot ginger tea and curry just in time to watch the downpour (one that would make Vancouver proud) from our restaurant :)
