When you plan something, especially as long in advance as I did for these trips, there is always a chance that things could change. Luckily nothing happened to derail my plans for tor this trip. I left on 21 January 2023 and returned 14 nights later.
The weather at one of the guesthouses I stayed in was not great, and I spent some time in my room. I had the television on and someone said –
When last did you catch your breath?
When last did you marvel at the wonders of Nature?
My reaction was –
Today. Yesterday. Everyday so far on this trip.
And I would continue to catch my breath and marvel at the wonders of nature every day for the rest of the trip.
