Today was an amazing day! A little bit of deja vu and a lot of new and wonderful. First the deja vu.
As MS2 mentioned, we had an unscheduled stop in Bagdogra, India on our way into Paro, Bhutan. The last time I was in Bagdogra I was with Durf and about 10 other adventurers along with our fearless leader, Pandey. We were being held hostage by machine gun wielding border (?) guards who wanted Pandey to cough up some baksheesh before they would let us leave. Pandey, to our dismay was standing on principal and refusing to pay. We kept saying, "Pandey ji, it is only 300 rupees. A pittance." And he kept say, "No, it's just not right." That was then, this is now. Plenty of machine guns still in view, but no baksheesh required.
As for yaks, the last time I saw one, it was an attack yak that was threatening our very lives. (Remember, Durf?) Today I again saw a yak...in the form of bacon. And I ate it. Pay back!

Yak bacon? Sound tasty!
ReplyDeleteI hope T3 ate some so that she can't complain when I next serve my wild boar appetizers (boar served by a bore - just to get that out of the way).
I sat by the Skype computer last night & it never rang - what a Saturday night date. T&T gave up and went to bed before me.
Hope you're having fun AND "yakking it up"
How could I ever forget the attack yak? And, YES, revenge at last!
ReplyDeletedid you have eggs with the yak?
