New Year’s Eve, things are looking up.

Phew. A quick update – at breakfast, I found this fantastic piece of front page news:

(obviously the context, deadly elephant attacks, is not amusing, but I like the fact that the elephants are literally unstoppable. Also referred to as “tuskers” throughout the article). after breakfast we were moved from the wet dog room: to this palatial one, in which fruit and flowers were provided soon after we moved in.

We have booked in for a few more days, until Kelly goes to Bangladesh on the 7th – the Internet is faster than it is at home, they have a generator and the breakfast is good. This is not the adventure yet, this is thesis finishing time. Bear with us.
