Sorry for the delay but the internet is understandably a little dodgy at the mo, so no piccies just yet. Had a great time in Kathmandu care of John Mitchell and his family. John is the owner of the Hotel Garden, Damside Pokhara. A fine establisment that I can thoroughly recommend to anyone going to Pokhara for hiking or paragliding, John is a pilot himself. The details are http://www.hotelgardennepal.com/ . On hearing we were headed to KTM he offered us a free ride with his family and showed us the sights to boot. Top bloke and someone we will be staying in touch with on our return. Monkey Temples, more shrines and a visit to the Ghats (more about Ghats in the next post on Varanasi) saw us heading to Chitwan Park. Elephant rides, bird watching and jungle treks were all very nice and Jonny got to ride the great hairy beasts around in the river. Much to the amusement of the mahut who thought getting his Nelly the elephant to toss me in the water every 2 seconds was hilarious:) Sunrise over Chitwan is definitely an amazing sight as well as watching wild Rhino with the orange globe of the sun rising through the mist (how poetic). All for now........
