Well what can we say. Chitwan was absolutely beautiful. Things that I never thought Id ever do again, sit in a canoe, do a 9 kilometer walk, ride another elephant, enjoy myself without my wife (to be honest I missed her an Bubba terribly). Chitwan was everything it was meant to be, the last two and a half weeks have been pretty hectic but in a good way. We managed to cover a fair bit of time and events with people and smooth out the way for the Aussie invasion coming next year, so taking some time out was refreshing for everyone. We had time to reflect on the previous weeks as well as take in a cultural event that was absolutely spectacular, think of Nepali Stomp for anyone who is into the whole bash things and make good rythm sounds.
We did not get to see the elusive Rhino and tiger in the jungle but we tried really hard to find them, our jeep got 2, not one, but 2 flat tyres and the thing that cracked me up was having mobile phone reception in the jungle, but it did prove for a long day, but that was ok, everyone was in high spirits.
Groups that went out the day before and the day after came across the rhinos, and I did not let up on our guide fo the three days about the fact, he took the ribbing very well.
The bus trip there was a sight to behold, seeing trucks tipped over on their sides was very comforting, we have great video footage of that, I would have been ok with a tipped over truck if we had not seen 3 of them on our journey, and coming home on the other side of the road closest to the roads edge was just great, there were many prayers said that day.
but all in all the trip was great, we were all happy to get to a shower, and after a relaxing weekend and time to catch up with family it was time to get blogging again, hence what you are reading now.
So Monday, it action stations again, we are going in to finalise the land and the plans, there will probably be no more bloggs now until wednesday and after the following Sunday coming, Shayne Ryan will take on the pleasure of keeping you all updated until the end of February.
