After our Annapurna Circuit Trek, we had rushed to sunny. Pokhara is a wonderful town near the Annapurna Range. It borders beautiful Fewa Lake.
We met up with friends Dan and Misty. The pair are from Alaska and are also exploring Nepal for a few months. We met them during our trip in the Everest region. Through them we met Shane from Australia. For Christmas, we decide to spend the day on the lake. We rented a "Party Barge". We cruised the lake in style on an giant paddle boat.
We came prepared with snacks, drinks and Dan brought his guitar. It was an great day with friends in the sun. Towards the end of our excursion the boys got a little rowdy and started messing around with the other boats. Parker and Dan raced other boats and paddled full force towards kayaks, paddle boats and canoes overloaded with about 15 people. It was all in good fun. Thankfully no one fell in the water.
After the party barge we went for a nice dinner and then to a jazz bar for drinks. The Silk Road is popular with travelers. Of course, being a Hindu and Buhhdist country Nepal does not celebrate Christmas. However, Pokhara is a tourist town and there were decorations and Christmas greeting signs for our benefit. At the Silk Road we were surrounded by other travelers who were also far away from home. It was a nice way to end Christmas.
