This last week has gone so quick! Last weekend I had to do some online work for my work back home, hence I booked a nice hotel (Hotel Radisson Kathmandu) to make sure I had internet and electricity for the full two days. It was so nice to stay in a nice hotel, however I spent in one night the same as I usually spend in one week. BUT I got to enjoy a hot shower!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6684\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6684\" style=\"width: 165px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/I-am-working-from-my-hotel-room-at-Radisson-for-two-days.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6684\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/I-am-working-from-my-hotel-room-at-Radisson-for-two-days.jpg\" alt=\"I was working from my hotel room at Radisson for two days\" width=\"165\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6684\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Working from hotel room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I had a lovely night together with my colleagues at Australia Awards as well as staff from the Australian Embassy.

He only had one week in Nepal but it was great to show him around and for him to meet my friends and colleagues. We spent 4 nights at a holiday destination called Pokhara, such a nice place. You can either go by bus approx. 7-12h or fly 25min to get there&#8230; In Pokhara we did a fantastic 3h trek to Sarangkot view point where we had a beautiful view of the city as well as the Himalayas mountain range.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6682\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6682\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/My-husband-and-I-in-Kathmandu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6682\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/My-husband-and-I-in-Kathmandu-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"My husband and I in Kathmandu\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/My-husband-and-I-in-Kathmandu-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/My-husband-and-I-in-Kathmandu.jpg 617w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6682\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrew and I in Kathmandu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6681\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6681\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/View-in-Pokhara-of-Phewa-Lake-and-the-Himalayans.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6681\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/View-in-Pokhara-of-Phewa-Lake-and-the-Himalayans-300x146.jpg\" alt=\"View in Pokhara of Phewa Lake and the Himalayans\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/View-in-Pokhara-of-Phewa-Lake-and-the-Himalayans-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/View-in-Pokhara-of-Phewa-Lake-and-the-Himalayans-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/View-in-Pokhara-of-Phewa-Lake-and-the-Himalayans-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/View-in-Pokhara-of-Phewa-Lake-and-the-Himalayans.jpg 1693w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6681\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View in Pokhara of Phewa Lake and the Himalayas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6683\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6683\" style=\"width: 281px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/3h-trek-to-Sarangkot-View-Point-here-photo-of-Pokhara.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6683\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/04\/3h-trek-to-Sarangkot-View-Point-here-photo-of-Pokhara.jpg\" alt=\"3h trek to Sarangkot View Point - here photo of Pokhara\" width=\"281\" height=\"211\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3h trek to Sarangkot View Point &#8211; here photo of Pokhara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I went to a really interesting presentation by\u00a0Maggie Doyne, an American philanthropist who has built a children&#8217;s home, women&#8217;s center and school in Surkhet, Nepal.
