We just arrived back in Khatmandu after a hellish 6 hour bus ride. Our seats were in the very back of the bus and whenever we would go over a bump we would go flying into the air, one time I really thought Tyler had smashed his head on the ceiling. Also the seat in front of Tyler was broken so the back of the chair was crushing his legs the entire time. We would stop every so often so the bus drivers could perform "minor maintenance" on the bus. One time our driver shimmied under the bus and after a few minutes of scrambling about walked over to the local shop, purchased some electrical tape, scurried back under and then decided we were good to go! Oh yeah, and it was 106 degrees. Needless to say we are getting really excited to head to the beaches in Thailand!
We spent four days in Chitwan National Park and had a really great time. We saw seven wild rhinoceros and they were absolutely amazing animals! We were able to get 20 feet away while riding elephants and it was incredible to get so close. We also saw several crocodiles on a canoe ride that were up to 7ft long! The safari guides who worked for our hotel were the nicest people and we had a great time having some beers with them last night. Now we are chilling out for a couple days and preparing for the next leg of our trip. Goodbye Nepal!
