Nepal day 2
After a great meal in the open air restaurant on the river we retired to the equally beautiful bar. For the first time in a long time, I was able to enjoy some Jack Daniels with Ice! You see China apparently does not have ice!? Everywhere we went, even nice hotels, bars and restaurants, no Ice. Everywhere we went my cry for ” Ping Quey” (ice in Chinese) was returned with looks of dismay. It became the joke of all the riders. I would ask for ping quey and the riders, especially Godfather, would start repeating “pinq quey, ping quey”. But it rarely ever appeared. So after to many JD’s we all walked down to a big fire pit by the river and just hung out. Something we have I little time to do.
We ride everyday, rarely less than 8 to 10 hours on the bikes with some 12 to 15 hour days for good measure. The next morning, after a good nights sleep we get a late start at 9am. Everybody is feeling rejuvenated. We head out of the hotel on decent dirt road that turns to asphalt after a few klicks. As is now customary or another odd coincidence, it the biggest holiday in Nepal! A Hindi celebration, which once again means that all of the citizens of Nepal are on the roads traveling for vacation. Lots of couples on scooters with backpacks, families packed in small cars and old piece of shit buses packed to capacity with 20 to 30 people riding on the roof! With crazy ass drivers with no concern for anybody’s safety. They haul ass down these cliff-side roads, honking and careening along with passengers clinging to each other on top. No one seems to concerned, they actually look like they are having there own adventure!
We stop for lunch at a restaurant on top of the mountain and enjoy a wonderful meal provided by the restaurant owner who was from Spain. I get to work some of my bad Spanish and he tells about how he came to be the proprietor of this estate. He came here in the 70’s as a long haired hippie married a Britt and stayed here in paradise. We head out towards Kathmandu and the traffic it promises. We meet up with a guy on a very cool Enfield Bobber that Chris has made arraignments with to ship 3 of the bikes back to Singapore with. Miasfta?( totally butchered, sorry) a member of the Handlebar Motorcycle club with their own bad ass club house. Chris, Phoah and Godfather need to get back to Singapore so after sorting out the details we head over to the hotel. We meet in lobby at 6 and head out to a traditional Hindi dinner show. Classic bad meal with good entertainment. It’s Chris birthday so some of us head out to the bars of Kathmandu. It’s everything you think it would be. Narrow streets with lots of backpackers speaking all languages of the world. Guys trying to sell me “some killer Hash”. No, I didn’t buy any! We go up some stairs to a grimy little bar and order a bottle of tequila. Yes tequila! Mucho’s in hog heaven! There’s a little stage and after a couple of minutes this guy with a painted mustache on his face and a big knife starts dancing around lip syncing to some strange almost sounds like Rob Zombie music in Hindi. He’s the warm up guy! After him a young lady comes out in traditional Indian garb and does her own dance. A guy from the audience gets on stage and kind of does a mock dance with her. No one seems to care and the show continues. Miasfta and a friend of his are here with us enjoying the tequila, he says “This is Kathmandu! MF! This shit happens all the time”.
And now we are 5
The next day it’s up early to visit “Old town” and another temple. I am nursing a slight hangover, decide to stay back and watch the bikes. Usual crowd forms, same hundred questions, but a bunch of nicer people you couldn’t find. Just interested in what this mass of bikes is all about. I put one guy in charge and wonder across the street for a cup of tea. There’s a little group of mostly men sitting or standing at the curb. There’s a little old lady crouched down in the street/gutter with her little gas stove. I get in the queue and watch the process. Basically she only has about Ten glasses to serve the crowd. So when 1 person is done, the helper guy takes the glass rinses off in the semi dirty bucket of water then hands glass back to old lady. I’m thinking WTF this Kathmandu this lady probably been squatting here for eternity if everybody was getting sick from the process she would not have so many customers… Best damn tea I ever had! Made with milk, she boils it with the tea leaves then pours over strainer into waiting glass. All for about 10 cents US. I got back in line for seconds. Tried to keep my glass, but helper guy needed for other customer in queue,.
Off to Lumbini, the birth place of Buddha!
