Nepal - Hot bus rides, and the first guesthouse

Nathanael Mokry

Wifi has been spotty, and very slow, so we'll see if I can upload any pictures. I'm not sure if my delorme GPS has aquired a signal yet, but if it has, you can see where we are if you follow this link: https://share.delorme.com/NathanaelMokry. Feel free to let me know if it is working. Also, I'm sorry if this posts multiple times. It's hard to get wifi, and I'm never sure if anything gets posted or not. 

So Rachel got a kick out of the title that the ticket guy gave me "Mr. Tourist." We ended up getting a 7hr bus ride from Kathmandu to Besisahar for $4.50 each. Not a bad deal!

This is us just escaping a big traffic jam in the city of Dumre. 8 busses wanted to through the intersection at the same time.

However, this was a fancy bus. The bus organizer put a nepali film on for us. However, there was only 1 speaker on the bus, and he had to keep fiddling with the audio wire because the audio would go in and out.

We passed so many villages, towns, rice fields, Cattle, Goats, and buffalo

After we arrived in Besisahar, we hopped onto a much smaller, local bus that took us to Ngodi. We made fast friends with two french men, Jean-Daniel  (pictured here) and Christophe (he took the photo). We were smashed like sardines into this tiny bus. There was a random computer CPU unit at my knees, and I had to carry 2 bags on my lap. It was HOT and sweaty. More than once, the bus tipped precariously to the side as we were going by a cliff, and we all had to lean away from the cliff to keep the bus balanced.... A cultural exprience to say the least

Our local mini bus. They kept the front door open to try and funnel fresh air into the HOT bus. It only worked slightly.

Rachel and my digs at the first guest house in Ngodi. It had electricity but no Wifi. It was much fancier than we were expecting. We stayed there for $1.50 USD. We were woken up at about 1am to the sound of torrential rain pelting the top of our tin roof. SO LOUD! It was the first time it had rained in this area in 3 weeks.
