LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Eastern Cape, South Africa: Storms River region.

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every couple of months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

63.22 Nepal: Last Post: Perspectives of an hotel, Le Glamour, amongst the various sites and sights of Pokhara.

  While there are many other blogs from Nepal unpublished, the variation is limited because we had little desire to move too far from our base of Pokhara (besides an initial stay in Kathmandu), on this occasion. It is now time to move onto and into Europe for a couple of months. 

In the misty morning...
My brother, Mark, built and operates a stunning model railroad. This view reminds me of typical scenes of his creation. Particularly like the curve that I perceive.
An hotel, Le Glamour, as we approach it on our way to Methlang. Apparently, the hotel is open for guests but we only see workers renovating it. (See below)
Machhapuchhare (Fishtail) hides behind the Hotel Le Glamour above. Could it be le amour?
From across the lake, one can make out the same hotel on the spine and further to the left is Sarangkot Tower with Fishtail at rear.
A section of Annapurna on view and to its right Fishtail juts through the clouds. To its right is the hotel.
No giant mountains but yet another illustrating the position of the hotel.
The lake from another perspective allowing for reflection.
One of the clearest shots of the hotel.

The mist persists as we walk above the city.
A dull day but the lake is covered in glass.
Another perspective of the lake following much rain the previous night.
Color is an important aspect of the culture.
We step off the path to view the lake and then face the jungle.
A view between the trees including the island that houses a temple.
...and now for different color from Nepal. 

Stairway to Heaven...for an angel. (Also known as 'angling for something...')
Who are you calling an 'Old Goat'?
Do you come here often?
"He's gotta a ticket to ride." 
'Excuse me, Sir, would you move to the rear of the bus...upfront is for deodorant users only.'
Apparently, it is no longer possible to define a woman. This is a tremendous help for us as we do not have to give too much thought to this caption. (As an aside, it makes us wonder what the gender of the next president of the USA could be...) Confused?
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

Until our next visit, a salute to an important aspect of Nepal.

Cheers again!
