This morning it nearly felt like a sleep in as we didn't wake up until 7 and weren't meeting Bikram and the horse & cart until 8.20am to go to the bus park for our non aircon $5 bus to Kathmandu. We had been assured it would only take 5hrs but knowing Nepalese roads we expected longer and longer we got taking about 6 hours of the bus roaring around corners and shaking and rattling all the way to Kathmandu.

Our big day of jungle adventures started with breakfast at the hotel where they bought us way too much food then we met Bikram at 7.30 to begin our day with a canoe trip down the river to see marsh mugger crocodiles & a variety of birds. Still a little cool it was an enjoyable hour as we slid through the shallow water past flowering lilys & locals cutting grass on the shore.

The only thing I really had planned for the day was the 4.30pm yoga class. I went for a bit of a wander by myself along the shops and down to the lake front path.
