Day 10 - Lumbini, Nepal
Up at 3.30am to catch trains, (no planes) and automobiles to Nepal. This took just on 16 hours. The line of trucks waiting to enter Nepal stretched for 28 kilometres due to the back log of goods due to recent flooding. We passed some areas that were still sandbagged and saw debris several metres above the road. K, the kids and I had visa issues as apparently I had not paid for them but to my recollevtion I had. We had to reapoly there and then and after some money changed hands we crossed the border. On the way to the hotel we stopped to visit the birthplace of Buddha born around 2500 years ago.which is a World Heritage site.
