Sport Hurts! - Go Hard Or Go Home!!

---

Well, here I am back in Kathmandu - a bit earlier than expected - but being the accident prone person I am, I have managed to attain a sporting injury!!.

As they say - sport hurts - and it did for me!! I was playing football with some of the kids at the orphanage, when doing one of my immaculately choreographed Cruyeff turns I heard my right calf muscle make an odd crunching noise , swiftly followed by a shooting pain down my leg. Looks like I may have torn my calf muscle!!

Anyway the injury has made me a bit useless ( well more than I was already!) at the orphanage, so I decided that it was better to make a return to relative civilisation, and out of the constant sauna heat.

The kids were great when I left, they all went and picked flowers for me ( well stole them from the garden of property next door - whose owner didn't seem to chuffed!)

Since arriving back here in Kathmandu, I have decided that although my leg is ok to walk on( albeit a bit sore) it wasn't going to be a good idea to go trekking, so rather than staying in Nepal I am going to fly back to Blighty for a short while next week, and then fly straight onto South America.

I am off on a flight round the Himalayas tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to shoot a few good snaps( or fall out the plane knowing my luck)

Anyway, the one bit of good news is that being back in civilisation means I can see the mighty Pompey hopefully win the FA Cup today - Play Up Pompey!!!

Limping back to Blighty!
Lovely to see photoes of you with the children from the Ganganagar Orphanage, what a shame that you were unable to complete your stay. Lets hope a short break back home will put you right and you will soon be able to complete your adventures. Love Mum
