“And they ate cake for breakfast”…and then rode elephants

Apologies for the length between this post and the last, we have been running on a very crazy & tight schedule here, up at 6am most mornings, (and even 4am once!) and in bed as soon as we’ve eaten dinner and shared in devotions. Our exhaustion however, is a testimony to the amazing amount of things we’ve experienced in the last few days, things we’ve somehow managed to fit in to our last whirlwind days in this country.

“If I had a buffalo I’d name him Mo-Mo”

We are finally in Nepalganj, the biggest city west of Pokhara, with a strong Indian and Islamic influence, after 13 hours in transit! Leaving Pokhara at 8am after a delicious breakfast of yoghurt, honey and bananas (yes Australians, bananas are super cheap here, woohoo!) we crammed our luggage and bodies into our Hiace van and hit the road ready for a long day of windy, bumpy and congested roads as we made our way west. Time was taken up by sleeping, listening to music, or being graced by Andy’s detailed commentary of our surroundings, keen to share his love of this country and this region of Nepal in particular.
