We have just returned from a month travelling in India and Nepal.
Business took us to Delhi in India. Delhi is always such a chaotic place.
The markets are fun to wander through though, and we always stock up on tea and spices to take with us.
I always enjoy Nepal and Kathmandu.
Kathmandu didn't seem to suffer that badly from the earthquake, but walking around the villages outside the city the devastation was much more obvious. You can read more about our experiences here.
Here a woman is carrying fodder home for her goats and cows.
Life goes on-weeding the potato patch,
and carrying compost to the fields in preparation for planting.
Due to a blockade at the Indian border there was a shortage of cooking gas, so many people went back to burning wood in their clay stoves.
Time to harvest the potatoes in this village.
In spite of the earthquake and the blockade at the border the people are getting on with their lives and there is a sense of optimism and cheerfulness in each of the villages we travelled through, that I for one could learn something from.
