Poor me I am ill. After nearly 3 months away my stomach of cast iron has dissolved to an unpleasant mulch leaving me feeling rather weak and pathetic and unable to do much. Luckily for you this means I can post yet more random stuff from the past few weeks.




Coming down from the mountains you immediately start to notice the change in dominance of Buddhism to Hinduism - no where more so than in Poon Hill where we were to experience the first of many 'tika' giving ceremonies. This involves a dollop of raw rice mixed with yoghurt and red dye being placed on the forehead and a flower behind the ear. I understand this to be the giving of good luck ... that said Clare's looks more as though she has been stabbed in the head and mine looks like a dirty great scab.
