La montagne, ça vous gagne
... une micro-sieste en attendant l'ouverture des cafés. Nous en trouvons un en terrasse, qui sert un petit déjeuner très européen, ça nous change! Il faut dire qu'après nos déboires, on a levé le pied sur les épices le matin. Alors que nous dévorons notre repas, nous entendons un "hello" qui semble venir de nulle part. Après tout, la terrasse est vide et nous sommes en hauteur? Puis un second "hello". Une ombre massive parcourt rapidement notre terrasse. Nous levons les yeux: ...
Mountains and Momo's
... arrival. The jeeps are CRAZY over there - they try to overtake on tight bends and you really wouldnt want to be a nervous passenger - think my dad would die!

Lots of photos, including those of river, suspension bridge, and the remains of the Big Fig which suffered during recent storms. Onto flat land (the Terai) and the finish (or start) of the Great Indian Plains, approaching Chitwan. Lots of broad acre rice farming, and wattle and daub housing, and buffaloes all in poor condition. Book into Maruni Sanctuary Lodge in Sauraha, ...
The air that I breathe
... best of games but I would still have loved to watch it. Terrible timing.
The trip to Bagdodra Airport was pretty uneventful, in fact apart from the amazing levels of security it was pretty much like any internal flight in Australia. I got the whole back row of seats to myself and spread out and had a good snore!! Before I knew it we were in Bagdodra.
