Heading to the small plane


Heading to the small plane
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

The flight was scheduled for 0730 and required a show-up time of 0700. As expected, though, the flight didn't show up until 1030 because of fog in Pokhara. This gave me time to get some breakfast at my guesthouse until the air raid siren announced an incoming plane.
It was a pretty turbulent take off heading into the strong winds in the valley. Twenty minutes later, when we arrived in Pokhara, three Chinese girls clambored out of the 18-seater twin-prop plane and quickly vomitted on the grass next to the tarmac.
