To Bandipur And Beyond!
1. Wherein Bandipur, kinda like a good 4 or 5 hours away, turns out to be somewhat less than the idyllic medieval village set in the mountains that Claire and Charles were expecting. Todd captures the moment of hushed disappointment. Yes, this is a dusty football field with goats.
2. And there is no power to get on the internets and check Claire's rough cut.
3. So, we check the maps for alternate options.
4. And decide to soldier on to Pohkara (another 3 hours away).
5. And find ourselves in a decadent colonialist hotel. Fawny and Lovey sport their matching robes. Dahling, the season's over in Nepal, time to move on to Morocco.
6. A decadent colonialist hotel with a wedding party. A very loud wedding party.
7. And Todd and Charles get screwed by the Lonely Planet guide yet again. Yes, the waiter in the darkened restaurant with no power brings Charles NONE of the three or four things he ordered. Charles plots their escape by candlelight.
8. We have to fly back to Kathmandu to make our flight out of Nepal...and get to fly by Everest in a tiny prop plane...while Claire and Todd pose for the Agni Airways promo video.
Additional Vocabulary
1. Future Jank. Also: Futurejank. Def: Technology both futuristic and cobbled together, as seen in better sci-fi films.
