A two part response!

I really enjoyed your report, great photos and really engaging and amusing writing. We have been through the Rhotang pass a couple of times, before the tunnel was built. It is a beautiful area with stunning scenery.

 

Secondly, very sorry to hear about your health problems and very pleased to hear that you are recovering well. Look after yourself!

Thank you, Peter. It is time to heft the camera once again. Earlier my arms were weak but exercise and perseverance has made them as before now.

Thank you, Tony. Yesterday, i rode the bicycle inside our gated community, without any problem. Getting there, albeit slowly.

@EarthianThanks for your report of the wonderful trip. I am relieved that you have almost fully recovered a year after your stroke. Good luck with your next challenge - loosing some weight. I hope your trip to the US can go ahead.

Thank you, Biko. Though i am afraid, losing weight is by no means an easy task. Due to my hospitalisation, i had lost 21 kgs- and i resolved not to let it go to waste- but the resolve lasted just as resolutions do. A month at the most.:-(
