First train experience in class 3: stuffed, people everywhere, sitting even on top of each other… Lucky for those who got a seat. We weren’t one of them… But it was only a 40 minute ride. Trying to get off…
Day 100 – 101: Kovalam
Anik: Can I have the butter jam toast with jam please. Waiter: Okay the omlette, yes? Days of relaxation, beach and getting used to the hot and humid weather – if we are ever going to get used to it……
Day 99: Off to India
We are leaving Nepal after 30 days. And they were great days. Could have been a few less in Kathmandu though but we all loved it. Slowly I’m getting fed up of the rice and dhal but I guess I…
Day 98: Back in Kathmandu again!

The title says it all… We just relaxed, did home schooling, had our clothes washed, spent hours sorting out the Indian visas, playing pool and enjoying the lovely food…
Day 85 and 86 Badhauri and the return to Phokara
We enjoy the village so much that we decide to stay here for another night. In the morning and afternoon we go for little strolls and in between we do some home schooling with the boys. Our hotel owners are…
