This week I’ll be sharing a fabulous hiking adventure in France walking the French Camino from Le Puy-en-Velay to Figeac a delightful 250 klm 2 week journey. In France, The Way of St James (which translates as Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle or the GR 65) is the most popular route crossing southern central France. Reconnecting with my good friend Jackie and her family who have operated a gite on the French camino for 12 years at Beduer just south of Figeac was a highlight of this exceptional journey.

In the tropical lowlands of Nepal in Chitwan national park I and another 4 travellers hired a teenager to guide us through the swamp of elephant grass to a stand of forest. Our intrepid guide gathered us around. “If the rhino charges you what can I do?” He answered himself “Nothing! You must run zig zag an climb up a tree plenty quick” so with the safety talk over we proceeded. Climbing up a tree what a magnificent sight - 2 rhinos beneath. Now we had to wait for a LONG time before they moved off and we could climb down We continued along a tiny track to a lagoon and the elephant grass was parted to reveal a mother and baby rhino. The guide was jostling my arm which was annoyingly ruining my photo shot when he suddenly screamed and ran back up the track. Of course I ran too and for good measure scampered up a tree plenty quick. It was subsequently revealed that a boa constrictor and come out of the water and slithered across his foot. This understandably freaked him out and he took of back the way we had come -“OMG OMG All finish we go back now” He took off and we followed however he was so distracted he failed to notice a huge pile of steaming rhino shit on the track (rhinos do 14 kilos of poo each day) you didn’t have to stick your finger in it to realise it was VERY fresh. At that point we looked to the left and saw 2 huge rhinos about 10 feet away,. We looked at them , they stopped feeding and looked at us. Then very quietly we kept walking very grateful to get safely away
