Nepal 2, The Terai
Heading off to the Terai with a group of bird watchers is a thing to behold. I do wonder what the collective term for bird watchers is? A 'Twitch' of bird watcher's maybe? They completely monopolised the only window in departures 'birding' furiously (Is that even a verb?) We had quite a few people trying … Continue reading Nepal 2, The Terai

Nepal? Why Nepal?
Why Nepal? Well why not? Its a desirable destination after all! That's where I'm off to right now.

What I felt yesterday afternoon I saw this morning. Two men sat on a bench having their … Continue reading Coast 11 – An Enid Blyton Adventure
