Up at 5.30, showered, packed so that I could go on the visit to the elephant breeding centre at 6.30 before having to catch the 9.30 tourist bus to Kathmandu.
Elephant visit was only about half an hour and then they took us on an unexpected walk through the jungle. Had I known I'd have dressed for the occassion. It was a hot sunny morning and I was wearing track bottoms and a long sleeved white t-shirt. We walked aimlessly through loss grass and soggy mud (from the rains)- I think he was trying to find a rhino but by the time we got back I was hot and sweaty and irritable because we were late and no time for a shower again as I has to rush for the bus. My sandals were wet and muddy, my trousers had those bits of grass seed stuck to them and I was lucky not to have picked up any leeches. i did restrain myself and didn't swear at the guide.
The bus ride was long and we stopped a couple of times to wait half an hour for no apparent reason and after 5 hours we arrived in Kathmandu.
Back at the 'Happy home' amd Daal/Baht for tea, but had a glass of wine with Asim and his wife Namrada to wash it down which was really nice. Chatted to them for a while and I think his company 'Info Nepal' is doing quite nicely - thank you.
Early to bed as it's been such a long day but am looking forward to ,my stay in the Kathmandu Guest house in the centre of Thamel (tourist district of Kathmandu). Apparently it's where the Beatles wrote a few of their songs (or have I told you that before - I'm getting old!!)
