Nearly 4,000 km of travel, incident free, and all 21 toes are back on Nepalese soil. There were a few times when it was unclear if we would make it or if we were even headed in the correct direction but somehow it all worked out just fine. Funny thing, it always seems to work out in the end. Its that middle part that'll get you on occasion!

Bumping, careening private AC bus up the hill, open, jolting government bus down the hill. On-time leaving train and 1.5 hour early-arriving train that afforded us a 14 hour layover in Delhi. Onto another train that was quiet and smooth. Packed 14 people into a jeep that should only hold 9, only one, partially functioning windshield wiper, and winner of the slowest driver contest. An immigration process so efficient and quick that its model was not that of the DMV. Finally, a 30 minute flight in a small airplane to forgo a 9 hour overnight bus ride up the steep and narrow mountain roads.

Of the two weeks on the road, I swear that half must have been on one form of transportation or another. We figured that the only forms of transportation we didn't take were bicycle, boat, and motorcycle. We are pretty sure that every other form has been covered!

250ish photos taken and I've not quite figured the best manner in getting them onto this blog. I guess I'll have to be parsimonious in my selection to give the best essence. I'll get on that soon, promise.
