I.II.VI.I – Belmopan: Day One

BELMOPAN I.II.VI.I – DAY ONE 26/09/22 After another day spent in the cabaña, seeking refuge from rain and all outside activity alike, it was time for me to get back on the road. This time round, it’d be a quick stop to the capital; Belmopan, where I’d be meeting Roy again. I remember waking up feeling all giddy and excited at […]

III.II.VII – The Chase

III.II.VII THE CHASE Kathmandu, check. Pokhara, check. And up next was our third and final stop; Chitwan. I might have had no expectations for Nepal, but this I definitely looked forward to. From the little research I had carried out before going to Nepal, this place felt rather synonymous with adventure. Finally! Arriving at the hotel, we were quite… surprised? […]
