So long...

Saturday 26/2-2005 – The last day in Nepal had come. It was funny to see how the days and weeks have rushed away. Most of the time since we arrived, there had been a state of emergency in Nepal. Though the strike together with its after-effect paralyzed the country for long periods of time, we had really no problems traveling around. The last 14 days, due to our rented motorbikes, we have traveled about 1500 kilometers up and down, from slightly above the sea level to about 2500 meters. And all the way, we met some very nice people showing friendship, kindness and hospitality. They shared a part of their life and their country.

Though we had plenty of time this last day in Nepal, due to the dense traffic we were a little late to the airport. We were picked up in a hurry by some of the airport staff, and almost hurled into the waiting airplane. And suddenly my first visit ever in Nepal had ended, but hopefully it will not be the last.
