    Bus trip from Hell

    May 5, 2019 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Well today was horrible we believed from the itinerary the transport to Pokhara was going to be Luxury mini bus or similar. Boy were we wrong we sat on our local tourist bus for 8 hours which when we researched should have been 6 hours. The distance travelled was 200km which is 25 km per hour. Not only was it very uncomfortable we had 2 American girls behind us that talked non stop about their friends,health and well being. They certainly did not help our health or wellbeing . The roads were horrendous even my for fit bit it took around 20,000 steps whilst sitting on the bus. John just worked out that is 20,000 bumps which is 40 bumps per minute.

    We did have a couple of short breaks and these were as expected very basic and a hole in the floor for you know what.

    Not looking forward to the next bus ride. Just getting the tour company to come up with some options as in 2 days we are back on the road for 6 hours.
