Home again!

We're home again for a few more days, just long enough to wash everything and repack it ready for our next trip, 2 months in South America.

We had a great time in Nepal and Tibet with David and Liz. Our last few days were spent at Chitwan National Park, where we went on elephant-back safaris (we spotted rhinos, but no tigers), canoe rides down the river, and (Sharon's highlight) bathed in the river with the elephants at washtime. We climbed up the elephant's trunk to get on its back, and we have some great video footage of Sharon's attempted ascent, with her lying sprawled across the elephant's head with her backside stuck in the air, while the elephant sprays water all over her!

Anyway, here's a few photos;
