Hotel breakfast, Indian, kinda nice, boating in begnas lake, no scenery, going to the other side and resort relax, parents eat yummy overpriced fish, Balen love, drive back to Chitwan, roti simi and bhindi dinner [Sun 9]

This is a part of 'going back and re-filling unwritten journals' project, the real writing is happening 8ish months after the date as a part of 'project 100'.

The Indian breakfast we had in the hotel was surprisingly decent, roti-tarkari and veggies and bread-and-butter plus eggs. It wasn't the best of its kind, but compared to the 'continental breakfast' offered in the US, it was heaven.

We drove to Begnas lake, rented out a boat, and glided across the lake to the other side, where there were a couple of resorts. Dad went on a quick hike with the boatman, mom and I stayed in, appreciating the scenery and paying one of those gandharvas, whose rates have gone up to crazy levels honestly! Parents ate yummy fully grilled fish in garlic, I had some other food that I don't remember, it was just alright, don't remember whatever it was.

We discovered people here were crazy for Balen, Kathmandu's mayor, despite him not being a local guy, and have nothing to do with the place. There's a LOT of political disappointment and anger in general public.

We drove back to Chitwan after Begnas, the path to and from which was also quite bad despite being a popular tourist destination, taking the really terrible road.

Back in chitwan, we had roti simi and bhindi for dinner.
