Our last day in Nepal as we make a break for the border, the bus ride wasn't as arduous as anticipated and we arrived into Lumbini by noon.
The most Holy and spiritual place for a Buddhist is the birth place of Lord Buddha, which is conveniently just down the road, he was born some 2556 years ago near a lake, near a tree and they actual have the 2556 year old stone on which he was born- and disappointingly that's about it. It would be nice if they even had a path to get to the place!
Other than that the hotel has A/C, porcelain, a pool and a colony of Mosquitos.
My beard is fully formed and I'm looking for suggestions so please forward your comments, I'm thinking handlebars but happy to hear from you.
On a closing note, Nepal is a beautiful diverse country from the roof of the world to the border jungles, it is a very poor country with the average wage of 82% of the population less than US$2 a day, it is over run with trash with no solutions for is disposal- plastic bottles litter every corner and don't bio-degrade. What Ais and I have budgeted for a week could feed a family of four for nearly 5 months.....makes you think!
Song for today's bu ride was Biffy Clyro- Many of Horror - no significance just a cool song.
Oh I leave Nepal without intestinal anything, hence the title....bring it on India !
