Photos from Pokhara!

The older childern have gone for dancing class and the little ones are sleeping out on the terrace in the sun, Krishna is off at some Hindu ceremony (he went to one last night and has two today and at least one every day for the next 2 weeks!) so I thought I would take the opportunity to put a few photos on here...

Sunset over Dhapsi (Kathmandu) from the rooftop of CCODER offices where I was staying

Office at the end of this street

Lunch on the roof with Joyti, Ratika and Tirtha

Govinda, always busy doing something, even at lunch...

My guesthouse in Pokhara - just a few metres from lake on one side and views over to the Annapurnas on the other - just fantastic, it couldn't be better! Friendly family running it, my room has a balcony with great views, hot shower (feel so lucky!), double bed, air con etc only 2 pounds 80 a night! About 5 mins walk from Shangri-La home and just on the edge of Lakeside...

Buying breakfast after bartering down to half price (he was trying to charge me a pound for 3 banannas and 2 oranges!) I think he got a good deal out of it..

Shangri-La with 2 new floors!! It looks very professional and well built and should be finished in the next couple of months. We are trying to decide whether to use some money that has been offered us for setting up another home for renting the whole thing (instead of it going to someone else) and filling it up with more children!

It's about time to meet everyone for games in the park. Here's a last picture of Benjamin when I left... (now go to sleep!)


Lots of love xx
