Second CQU team arrive in Pokhara


COUNTRY: Nepal
PROGRAM: UniBreak Groups
PROJECT: Nursing
WRITTEN BY: Geena Lawn, Central Queensland University

Wow! Words cannot explain how wonderful it feels to finally be in Nepal.

It has been a fantastic start to our trip starting by meeting everybody at the Brisbane airport where we unpacked and re-packed 200kgs of donated items together. It was lovely to meet everybody, there was an immediate sense of being one together.

Thai airways were fabulous! We had a fantastic trip from Brisbane to Bangkok where we stayed overnight in a amazing hotel. Thai airways continued to be our air transport until we reached Kathmandu. The service on Thai airways was impeccable with lovely smiling faces, regular refreshments and amazing food! On board entertainment was also great to keep us occupied for the long long trips. When we finally reached Kathmandu the group was on such a high, full of excitement as our final destination was only moments away. The domestic flight to Pokhara was frightful as the plane was so tiny but once we hit ground in Pokhara we were so relieved!

Our first night in pokhara was very interesting. Our hotel is amazing with fantastic bed and bathroom services. Sonam was so lovely to take us out to dinner at Moondance which delivered fantastic food and great service. We also experienced the night life of Pokhara which was an eye opener :) chocolates were found and bought have to keep up our sugar levels.

This trip can only get better.
