I want to leave early today because I have a long drive ahead of me. In terms of navigation, it will be a piece of cake, because there is only one road, 200 km long, through the mountains from Pokhara to Kathmandu. That is also a disadvantage because there are regular landslides or other blockages on the road and then…

This city is best known by many tourists and mountaineers who go climbing or hiking in the Himalayan mountains from there.

After two days on the highway, I'm driving on a kind of provincial two-lane road today. Not too busy in terms of traffic, but a lot of activity on and next to the roads and the road goes straight through villages and towns.

According to DHL's track and trace code, my new credit card is with the local carrier, but the dates of all steps show that it is the airport. So that will take a while and I will fill my days with walking, sitting in the sun, washing the engine and everything I no longer need…

But things don't go quite as planned with the packages, unfortunately. Due to an error at the credit card company, my new card was not sent until Dec 28….

Today I drive the same distance as yesterday, but I still spend 2 hours longer on the bike and that's because today half of the route is not a highway. The speed on good country roads does not exceed 70 km/h. And then I catch up with everyone. It is that I am on…
