Friday 5pm and I should really have a beer. Distraction has set in and my google bar has moved from 'bio polymers' to 'foods of Bhutan' :)
So Bhutan here we come, not long now and tomorrow I meet the group and do a little pre trip hike, rounded off with tea and cake (how civilized).
So why do I really want to go to Bhutan, it's hardly a short hop from here. Well I'm am curious to see if what the books say......'a spiritual Buddist kingdom, where gross national happiness takes precedence over material wealth' is actually true, or they are working with a marketing company that has folk like me really reeled in? Give me a bit and I'll find out.
The other thing (among many others) that has me curious, and scared at the same time is their national dish. Hot chilies marinated in cheese... (Hello that will keep the bugs at bay....I'll read on and see if that is normal for breakfast too, as I've got mountains to climb and that might not be too useful!)
