Up at 6am to be ready to catch the 7.30 'local' bus to Chitwan. Usually we catch the tourist bus but as there were not enough tourists (monsoon season) the local bus was the only option. It took 6 hours instead of 3 and half as we stopped to pick up and drop off the locals all the way to Chitwan.
Today you can see the bruises on my back and arms that I acquired from yesterday's fight down the mountain.
On arrival we were unexpectedly given lunch of vegetabe soup and cheese spaghetti then taken to see the local museum and a walk round the village. However this is the first time the monsoon season has really affected my day - it poured and poured with rain and my waterproof jacket kept the top of me dry but my trousers absorbed so much water it went into my boots and crept all the way up to my knickers. There was no where in the lodge to dry clothers and as it rained the rest of the day and night it was all still wet the next morning.
In the evening Marianna and I met up with 2 girls called Annie and Nil who are working in the orphanage in Chitwan. I had a large rum and coke and we chatted all evening - it was a really good time. More tomorrow!
