Nepal
In five weeks time we're off to India and Nepal for a two week holiday, which promises to be an amazing experience. Well, that is assuming we can actually get into Nepal...
This morning the King sacked the government and declared a national emergency in the conflict against the Maoist rebels, who want to change from constitutional monarchy to a communist republic. There is no communications, no air travel, and in general it's not a great place to be (official government statement) at the moment.
Balls, balls, and thrice balls. Hopefully Nepal will stabilise with amazing speed, but I think it's time we check the insurance terms and conditions.
