Good Bye and Namaste

I had a wonderful time saying good bye to everyone before I left, it really felt like everyone was supportive of what I was doing. The bolly wood night and mad hatters tea part at work were brilliant and great to see people at work-out of work. Then Francesca and Dave supported me on the 42 mile sponsored cycle challenge, which was indeed a challenge (for me and Dave anyway). I had a lovely time staying with my Mum and she really helped me to eliminate non essential items when I was packing in my final few hours. Brighton was fabulous-zombie walk and dancing-wicked.

My final farewell in Manchester was lovely too and it was great to spend some time with Dave before I left.

Rob saw me to the airport, thank goodness, I could not carry all my luggage on my own and I even managed to down a jacket potato before climbing aboard.

After what felt like forever I finally made it to Kathmandu, where was my welcome part, no where to be seen! So I caught a taxi to the guest house and slept. Over the last week I have been settling in. I have been learning to speak Nepali, which is going really well. People are really friendly here and will help you with your language. On the first Saturday I went to the hash house harriers run, up hills and down dale through spider webs, it was really good and my legs ached for four days. The temperature is chilly really, not as cold as UK ha ha but without heating its really cold when you are sitting in the class room.

There are 12 new volunteers that make up our group, I am the only British, the rest are Dutch, African, Philippian, American, Canadian and Indian. All ofcourse are really nice!

My battery is about to run out so thats all for now....to be continued
