Ever had an incredibly unlucky day, where just about everything seemed to go wrong? Today was one of those days.
I didn’t sleep well so packing in the morning was no fun, rushed to take a cold shower and get ready. Being my clumsy self, I fell UP the stairs. We were leaving for Lumbini today and I didn’t want to be late. I scarfed down some food and threw my things in the car. At my aunt’s house, we waited for the driver and finally headed out around noon. If you ever want to go somewhere decently far away, leave early in the morning.
Back on the road not even a half hour and a tire blows out. Someone threw a long nail on to the road and it punctured our tire – good thing we have a spare… the driver quickly changed the spare and we were back on our way. We drove slowly, looking for places that would repair the tire on the way. We must have stopped at a dozen places before we got it fixed.
Not too long afterwards, we get a second flat tire, only this time it was getting dark and we didn’t have the right lug for the job. Thankfully we were not too far away from the next town, my cousin walked to the nearest shop to ask for help and the rest of us had some tea and waited.
Deflated upon our bad luck and nightfall, we decided to stay in the nearest city a few kilometers away instead of driving all the way to Lumbini. It’s not safe to travel at night.
