It’s been a busy few months. Finally moved to Oxford. Been hectic. Here I am having a massive cuppa. (Taken with instagram)

It’s been a while since I’ve been back in the UK. At the moment, London has a big egg hunt across the city, so I thought I’d see what the fuss is about. There’s around 200 eggs scattered across London, we managed to find 53 of them!
You can see all the eggs at Covent Garden over the Easter weekend.

We hired a bike and cycled Lumbini. It’s the best way to see the birthplace of Buddha, because it’s so spread out. Here I am in front of the German monastery. Beautiful isn’t it? I didn’t realise that Germany had a big Buddhist population…
From Pokhara,we took the bus down to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. What should have been a six hour trip ended up being 13 hours, thanks to a bandh (or a strike to you and me). It was a student protest about oil prices being pushed up. Here I am in a place called Bramdi. We here here for fours hours.
Bandhs are a regular occurrence in Nepal, especially in the Terai (south of Nepal). There’s not much you can do about it.
