Day 90 – Bus to Lumbini, the Birthplace of BUDDHA! After saying good bye sadly to half of our group we joined our new group and this time the brits were definitely outnumbered by the Ozzies!! Joining us were 3 girls and a guy from Oz and a cool couple from South Africa. The roads were similar to before, dry, dirty and poverty stricken as we headed closer and closer to the border with India. Going to see the birthplace of Buddha was quite an experience an...
