Sarimilla Trust

Tara at our friends Shiva & Preyna’s house in Boudha KTM. She arrived safe and sound until the crate wrecking crew got their hands on her. Picture Dawn & myself hanging on to Tara as the crew smashed the crate apart. The hammer head slid off over the guy’s head and disappeared into the onlooking crowd fortunately no one was hurt and the hammer was put together again before wrecking commenced. All a bit crazy but managed to get her out of customs and rode her home to Shiva’s place. KTM is a crazy place to start out in but you go with the flow and all is well.
