Immediately I liked it more than Kathmandu - Lakeside (ingeniously named for it's colocation with Phewa Tol) is amazingly beautiful, and on my first evening I got great pics of the sun setting over the lake, and a few hints of the mountains in the distance through the clouds.
I had met a few Canadian girls on the 7-hour bus ride here, and so didn't have to spend the four days alone. We had some great food, some good drinks, decent music, and I got disgustingly ill on my last day. Special thanks go to the merciful creature who stayed awake on Friday night to nurse me through my sickness.
Other highlights: Climbing to the Peace Pagoda overlooking Pokhara, and renting a motorbike for the day to take out into the countryside. Sorry ma, it was worth it.
