In Pokhara our hotel hadn't saved us a room even though we had made reservations so we went down the street to a much nicer (and more expensive) place. It's very posh, but we felt like we deserved the treat. We had hot showers, relaxed, and then head out for an email session. It was a very short session as internet access is very expensive in Pokhara. We had a light pub diner and a few beers then walked back to the hotel checking out some of the stores. We were both too exhausted to spend the energy shopping as it was 8:30 - past our trekking bedtime!
