The boys and I are currently held up in Pokhara. It's quite a hip place to hang out. It's a bit like Nepal's version of Bali except without the surf. However, they do have a booming adventure scene, paragliding, canyoning, kayaking, microlight flights, horse riding, mountain biking, white water rafting, trekking and the list goes on. It's extreme in adventure and chill factor. It is set between the stunning waters of Phewa Tal, Nepal's second largest lake and the snow capped Annapurna Mountain Range. We can see both from our hotel.
One of my sons has looked longingly at Phewa Tal for some days; sure it must be full of fish. So he talked his more reluctant brother into joining him on an expedition of discovery.
Armed with a rock, bound with Nepalese kite string, (the rod) the thorny part of a rose bush (the hook), and chocolate cake, (the bait) they left. The reluctant son was not convinced. Neither was I.
Can you believe it, my Huckleberry Fin and Tom Sawyer, caught themselves an eel!

Hey family, thats a fantastic feat boys. You caught an eel. Wow, did you get to eat it or not. When I was a child we went looking for eels heaps of times in the local river. The lake and mountains look fabulous. You must be enjoying Pokhara. Daddy has been walking for miles, trying to get fit enough to climb those mountains. Love to you all, nana and koro.
