Bhutan

Here are my post from Bhutan that I have been meaning to put up since I came back LOL!

Bhutan! (day 1)

Today we got up early and headed to the Katmandu International Airport (and oh boy it is a treat like no other...NOT). We were there for so long and spent a lot of time standing in lines how fun? I know you are all way jealous! But it is the small price to pay to get to go to Bhutan! We got on a plane (I am becoming so use to planes it is not even funny and this is only trip 1) and we landed at the prettiest airport ever in Bhutan! We were very lucky to be able to come here they don’t let many people in a few years ago only 4 thousand were allowed in and then last year it went up to 23 thousand. So once we got here we went and had an amazing lunch probably the best from the last month I have been here! Then we got in the car and drove for a little over an hour to a little town, we did a little shopping and then had dinner then Sharon (grandma), Diana, and I played rummy! (and grandma is having very good luck). Then off to bed it was a busy day but it seems like it is not a lot to say!

Bhutan! (day 2)

Today we were up bright and early! We went to a temple and it was just so pretty. Then to a place to see the national animal of Bhutan it is a Takin which is a mix of cow and goat it is so weird looking. Then stopped and saw some big building and the palace behind it and mountains so of course we took pictures! Then we went to a to where the nuns pray. We next went shopping, and then saw a place where women weave and omg it is amazing and takes so much time, I don’t have the patience for that LOL! Then lunch, then to a fortress which was so pretty and we got to see the biggest buhtas I have ever seen but they were so pretty! We then got back in the van and drove back down the mountains to Para (where we landed yesterday) went to the hotel and then shopping a little more! Tonight we had a pretty low key night I repacked our stuff so we can carry on all the new treasures and check our clothes. But the best part of the day (but not really) I went to grandma and Diana’s room to play cards tonight and we had CNN on and the Bangkok international airport is closed due to protest and of course that is where we are headed tomorrow and needing to leave on Thursday to go home and at this point we have had an amazing trip but are all ready to go home. So it is like 9 PM now and J’lien, grandma, and Diana are on the phone trying to figure out how we can get home. Now here is the big catch... again we have no internet at the hotel, and we can not stay in Bhutan after tomorrow because our visa ends so we have to figure out not only how to get home but really fast. The lucky part is that it is the morning in the states so we can talk to our travel agent so she can get working on it. “Give me a year and I’ll show you the world” Oh man how true is that. But I want to go home now and so does everyone else and this is not helping, but I do have to say watching the news tonight all Diana and I could do was laugh because it is just so damn comical.

Side note- sorry for all the “Then”, “and’s” and all the really bad transitions I know them I was just to tired to care! And because it is my blog I can say what ever I want!
