On Friday the 5
th we
have an air ticket for the 25 minute flight to Paro. We are 2 of the 6 passengers. The flight is originally scheduled to depart
at 10:55. Rob reads the ticket again and
one ticket says 9:55. We rush to the
airport to find out it will not leave Paro until 11 am. Back to Chamkar (the village) for coffee and
wandering. The airport staff drives us
and returns us to the airport. There is
a flurry of activity to tag our bags, get boarding passes and have our carry-on
luggage searched. We then wait for 3
hours until the flight is cancelled.
Meanwhile I have marked a lot of exam papers and Rob has worked through
some bugs in his computer program.

We spend the afternoon at the Perk
Café eating chili fries and are hoping the flight scheduled for tomorrow brings
better luck. If not we will have to
brave the 10 hour road journey back to Thimphu.
Loving reading your blogs, Heather! You are officially half-way through your adventure, n'est-ce pas? Hope the second half replenishes your spirit for your arrival back in Canada in December! Enlightenment would be lovely in these dire times.
