Bahraich sat. Had to get...

Bahraich sat. Had to get roof rack welded before settiog off. Border crossing torture. Need more welding done on engine mounting which f 2 days has been held together with rope and a prayer@

Brian has gone and got it fixed for now, welded the sub frame and the engine mounting back together and repaired the broken support for the roof.The whole thing was done with remarkable efficiency and cost us Rs 650. While he was at it he tried a #sweetie# which turned out to be chewing tobacco Yuk!

Tomorrow pray for dry weather - we stil have no window and the glass was left in Nepal - by accident or design. Time for another beer

Still in Nepal

At Narayanghat which is about half way through Nepal. Monsoon sarted with vengeance but only after we had checked into lovely hotel with pool and gardens. a big change from last night when we shared bedroom with Ghecko and lots of beetles. Toilet cistern dropped of wall when i pressed lever water everywhere. Slight engine problem but Brian drained carb and cleaned air filter. Rained as as we had no windscreen had to drive with poncho and goggles but it was ok.
