Now then everyone, I cannot believe we are here in Nepal with just 1 week to go of our ten and a half month trip. Such a lot has happened and yet it seems to have been just a blink of an eye! Last time Zoe wrote to you we were in Bangkok staying in an apartment in the complex where Giles and his fiancée Natalya (sp?) live.
