We were invited by our Australian friends to join them for a weekend away in Australia camp which is a short drive and walk from Pokhara. After work on Friday we all jumped in a van and ask the driver to drop us of in Kunde a small town about an hours drive from Pokhara near the edge of the Annapurna conservation area. From there we climbed for a couple of hours up to Australia camp.
Our friends Leigh and Tamara have a girl - 2 years old and another 1 year old. Here is Miki at the roadend.
Yep - we're in Nepal - so there is climbing.
But then we really quickly reached Australia Camp and stayed in some nice accomodation with a great lawn complete with balls, cats, dogs and leeches!
We stayed there two nights and went for a walk on our day off but we were always walking due to the high presence of leeches...
All the waterfalls were really pretty as there had been so much rain around.
It even rained while we were walking and Mark had someone to carry his umbrella as long as she could hold her flag as well!
After a walk where the leeches were EVERYWHERE we got to the nearest concrete pad and covered ourselves in deet and and salt. Leigh got the most, Miki's bleed the most, Mark got the award for the most awkward spot and Jo got the least!
Mark and I left the others and walked down on the Sunday through the rice fields which was lovely.
mmmm.... leeches!
