Today I received word that I am confirmed to visit Chitwan Park in Nepal. It's a jungle park in the south of the country, complete with elephants, rhinos, and muggers. Muggers are crocodiles that live in the marsh areas and they received their moniker after the British colonisers saw these loveable creatures dragging unsuspecting villagers to the water. To further enhance their reputation, the marsh muggers are related to the Australian saltwater crocodile. If only Mick Hogan was going to be travelling with me.

This wee blog thingie is about my trip to India, Nepal and Tibet in October and November 2008. Obviously, still in the planning stages. Since I decided to plan this trip there's been an earthquake in China, a cyclone in Myanmar(Burma if you're picky), violent unrest in Tibet and also in parts of Rajasthan. Maybe I should stay home..... Alrighty, it's March 2009 and it appears I am off to Ecuador and Peru later this year. Why not, it's the 200th anniversary of Chuckie D's birthday and almost 100 years since Machu Picchu was re-discovered. So I am off...eventually. Stay tuned.... ... full info
