... about 200 Rs (2 euro) per kilo of cocoons that they deliver to the silk factory.

I moved on to my final destination in Nepal, where I am now still, which is Chitwan National Park. On the jeep to the town where I am staying I met a group of people who just finished a rafting trip. I teamed up with one of them, Jordi, to share a room together. That evening we ordered food which took 1,5 hour to arrive... We were wondering why the cook was ...

Lever tres tot encore a 6h30, c'est plus des vacances la. Petit dejeuner, encore du the, des oeufs, des patates et des toasts. Holly ne se sent encore pas bien donc elle ne vient pas avec Dee et moi faire du birdwatching, en francais observation des oiseaux.
Marchons jusqu'au bord de la riviere et le simili guide nous dit juste les noms des piafs sans nous expliquer quoi que ce soit. Et au bout d'une demi heure on etait presque rentres! On lui demande s'il se fout de notre gueule, car ...

... elephant washing us than the other way round - we rode on her in to the river and then she squirted us with water and then tippped us in.

In the afternoon a different Elephant - this time with a platform on the back - took us on a safari. Its a brilliant way to go through the river, get above the grasses and barge through the forest looking for Rhino. We found one and the three elephants in our group followed it around for a while before it did a runner - Rhinos can run fast!

... I spent an afternoon doing just that at Chitwan (riding an exquisite girls bike that I borrowed from my Guest House's owner's daughter none-the-less). Its fairly popular to take an elephant ride into the jungle at Chitwan. And so on their way to the park entrance tourists riding in a box on the back of an elephant ride up and down the street. I just stuck to my bike the first day and then my feet, in search, not of an ...

Staying in a lodge type place which has amazing views of the Himalayan mountain range and is in the Chitwan National Park.

Not sure if it was a good place or not but we did get to ...

... animals retratats, altres que no siguin humans, es una mica minso. Son un parell d'hores d'estar sentat en una plataforma sobre una pobra bestia que no para de bellugar-se, al final acabes una mica marejat, amb un conductor amb pocs escrupols que no para d'engegar-li cops al cap amb un basto perque avanci en la bona diversio. Sobre la nit cultural en la que presencio les dances tradicionals no en puc dir gaire cosa ja que em passo la gairebe totalitat del programa ...

... t have much hope of that but we were really holding out to see a one horned rhino but unfortunately after a full day of searching we didn't see one. Was a great experience though creeping round the jungle trying to spot wildlife and we learnt a lot about the rain forest.

That afternoon Em got the first bout of Delhi belly, not good. Spent the rest of the afternoon on the toilet and sleeping hoping to recover before the elephant ...

... to keep it balanced!

At the centre we were met by a number of elephants of different ages. All of the elephants here are bread to work on the land, so we weren’t able to get close to the adults. However we did get close and personal with the babies in the centre. One of the female elephants had recently had twins which is incredibly rare for elephants.

Now to the best bit. We traveled back to our hotel ...
