Are we there yet....






Hi all,
first up, thanks to all those who were patiently waiting for some news, like it's only been what a week and a half.
Big thanks to Tamara for providing this service, we are all doing really well and it is exciting to be able to catch up with loved ones this way, cheers doll.
Whats been happening, well sit back buckle up, here we go.
I will blog the last week with pictures and hopefully if the internet doesnt crash it should all go well.
Coming through Bangkok was relatively easy considering what has been happening there, we just missed the whole thing, amen, that was spooky. India was also a concern but we were very safe. Thanks for the well wishes.
We landed fine in Kathmandu (see above) and Narayan from MDAN (Muscular Dystrophy Association Nepal) met us at the airport, it was great to see him. And of course not one to waste time we got into an agenda straight away. Monique and Stephanie were quite taken aback by the whole Nepali airport thing but adjusted very well and very quickly considering it was their first time out international. Yvonne from Scheer Memorial Hospital rocked up about an hour later (Nepali traffic) and we were loaded into 2 taxis and trucked back to the hospital in Banepa. Yvonne and I shared one car (Cam she sends her love, her adopted baby daughter is absolutely beautiful, will post a vid soon) where her and I covered a second agenda and the girls travelled in the front car, totally amazed at the sights and surrounding. We arrived at the hospital and went to our new house outside the hospital to settle in ($5 Aus per night), after a nice dinner we pretty well crashed. The house is great, I have one room the girls are sharing another, we both have showers and toilets although mine in Nepali (stop laughingSteve). There is a communal kitchen and the only thing that was wrong was the fact that they were still painting the place, it's 3 stories, but that was no biggy. There are beds and blankets and pillows and the owner is a lovely man. Sunday was pretty eventful considering the travelling we had done, we went back to Kathmandu, not to sure why now, and met up with Yvonne at the Red Dingo (Stu and Shirley send there love Cam) which is an Australian Resturant and came home.
Right, lets crack into the week.
