I pack up my stuff and organise to leave things in storage, and pay my bill. Dipak picks me up around 1pm and we go to his house to pack his things into my bay. I meet Dipak’s mother and his cousins who are staying in the Kathmandu for schooling. We then walk out to the road to catch the bus that will take us all the way to the western border. Krishna is a botanist and will be assisting Dipak on this trip. And it’s his family who we will be visiting when we get to Mahendranagar on the border. Krishna is catching the bus at the bus park so he is already on the bus when we board. It’s a comfortable bus with leg room and AC. It’s 3.30pm. The trip is going well until about 7pm the bus stops. And there we sit for four hours! It’s that bloody stupid road block for the road maintenance again. Unbelievable!
