It is a long weekend. We decided to head off west and see what happens there. We took the tent because we reckoned that on a long weekend with zero notice, accommodation might be a tad difficult to come by. We didn't plan this very well but out there is wine country so we shouldn't be too poorly provided for.

Three chums meet up in Pokhara, Nepal. It is the very end of winter. The three chums are sitting by a lake, drinking San Miguels. They decide to go for a walk - to walk in a very big circle which will bring them back to the lake.
