Much more to write

    There is much more to write about my last bit of cycling and I will do so
when I have more time!

Bike Ride Complete! Now in India!!

So I completed my ride and made it to Delhi, I have so much to tell about my
final days in Nepal and I can not type as fast as my thoughts!!

So leaving Tansen was a dream, gliding down hill for 40 beautiful kilometres
before hitting Butwal and after that another 25km of flat dusty land into
Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. It was disappointing to be honest I expected
it to feel special but it was not, but everyone experiences things differently!

After this I decided to catch my Friends in India and to travel with them as I
have seen the highlights of Nepal and wanted to give India a proper go, so I
cycled back to Butwal. This is where you catch the bus for the boarder crossing.
I was sitting there and a Nepalese guy came up to me.. asked me if anyone was
bothering me because if they were he would shoot them.... um no I replied, I'm
fine but thank you. He had a massive scar under his chin, lots of gold, people
kept coming up to him and shaking his hand, and he kept taking tea off his
Friends to give to me every time I finished my drink. It was weird, when he
asked me where I was going, before I knew it everything was done for me, and he
spoke to the driver to make sure I was looked after, again offered to shoot
anyone who bothered me ( I have his number... so beware) and that was that!

Now I am in India it is a full on experience of sights, smells, people, colours
and feelings. I am in Pushkar and there is an important pilgrimage going on it
feels very very special and spiritual. I have visited the Taj Mahal and that was
simply beautiful, a very romantic place and story behind it.

I am having a wonderful time, it is not as easy as Nepal and you can't trust the
people like the Nepalese but there are some nice ones and yesterday we were
invited to eat dinner at some peoples shop we met through their love of
Argentinian football ( a person I am travelling with is Argentinian), and have
also been invited to a wedding if we are in the right area when it happens.

Nepal was amazing and I hope to go back one day, cycling through this country
was an awesome way to experience it! I feel very happy and content and am seeing
many beautiful, sad, and happy things on my travels

    Never
    Ending
    Peace
    And
    Love

NAMASTE!

Tansen.....its strange!

Made it to Tansen today the Siddhatha highway is very beautiful and I can see why it is ranked as one of the most scenic highways in Nepal. It is also uphill most of the way!!!!

Yesterday I left Pokhara early and cycled around 85kms before I was fixing my 3rd puncture of the day around 130pm. It had been a tough mainly uphill cycle and none of the towns I went through were on my map and for ages I did not know where I was and how far I had to go, it was hard.... Anyway...as I was trying to fix this puncture ( a Nepalese lady was trying to help me, she didn't speak English) and everytime she helped it kind of hindered what I had already done and all the time speaking to me. It was really hot and I think I must have looked a bit stressed as a guy on the loveliest silver Royal Enfield bike pulled over to see if I needed help. By then I was already done so he said 'there is a market / bus park 3km down the road I will meet you there'. fair enough, so I went to meet him and it turns out he is the bus monitor, he sat me down and gave me tea and said I looked really tired so just rest for a bit.
He said I was 47km from Tansen (but its all uphill) so I decided I would stay with his family and do the rest tomorrow as it would be dark before I got there ( so I hung out for a few hours chatting to lots of people and drinking tea and eating samosas (they really looked after me and again would not let me pay). We stored my bike in his office and I got on the bike and he drove me to his family's guest house which was lovely. For 300NR I got endless tea, Dahl Bhat, a bed, a bucket of water for washing, a wake up call and a lift back to my bike this morning!
Today was really tough all uphill apart from 7miles, at one stage I was so tired I thought I was going to cry, It seemed never ending! So I took the executive decision to get off my bike push it for about 40minutes while listening full blast to dance music....it worked wonders and I made it to Tansen by 11.30am.

Tansen is weird, where I'm staying is full of military not really doing much. The views from here are great though. And I had a really great afternoon nap!!

Tomorrow.. Lumbini- the birth place of Buddha (88km), hopefully I have done most of the uphill now!!
