Another delay.
First day on trial and all smiles, the water buffalo is happy too.
We had another early morning bus ride from Dumre to Besi Sahar, a 32km journey which took almost 3 hrs, as it was a simple mud and rock road cut into the hillside and we were delayed yet again by a minor traffic accident (no one was hurt) which caused the entire village to come out, watch, and block the road. After the very bumpy and uncomfortable ride, we finally reached the small town of Bhulbule and set off on the "official" part of the trek. Our first day was relatively easy with a gradual hillside trail climb over the grey, frothy waters of the Marsyangdi Kola River, continuing on through a wide green valley with terraced rice fields and corn reaching high up on the hillsides. Robyn was prescient with our very first blog entry titled "Landslides and Leeches" as I had my first bloodsucker attached to my foot within the first hour of our trek.
