Well guess what? We were on a bus to Kathmandu this morning, but a traffic jam got in the wat.. A group of landless people had seized the road a few miles away and were letting nothing get through. So we are back, and will try again tomorrow. We are safe at our lodge, and the surrounding area is very peaceful. We would actually rather be here than in Kathmandu. This kind of thing seems to happen a lot around here. We're told this will probably be over by tomorrow but are making contingency plans in case it goes on another day - possibly a private car that will take a different route, possibly a flight. We'll be safe and fine and will keep you posted, update tomorrow afternoon or evening.
So we got back to our wonderful lodge where we had lunch and hand washed some clothes. Then we walked into town singing "Always Keep On the Bright Side of Life." Thank you, Monty Python.
Our experiences in the Chitwan area have been ASTOUNDING - the jungle here is amazing! I will send details when I am using a faster - and cheaper - computer, hopefully tomorrow evening.
Nothing is more educational than travel! Take it easy. PG
