Intrepid Journeys - Sikkim and Darjeeling (Temepara Bailey)

Usually when I'm travelling with the team [the Silver Ferns], I don't have to worry about catching a taxi, or getting my bag. We usually have a manager that looks after all that kind of stuff. So this is all about me and how I'm going to survive by myself, without my team there to help me.

It'll be traditional for me to get a blessing right now but . . . as much as I'd love to do it, I would really like to know the meaning behind it before I actually do something this spiritual and sacred.

I wish I had a couple more days, just so I could probably get to know all the family. It's been fun, and it's been kinda like home....

It feels really special to be up here, really sacred, spiritual. Just very lucky to be here . . . I kind of had a quiet moment to myself, wishing that my kids were here with me, seeing it.

This is like playing a netball game: you get barged and pushed everywhere. I think I'm used to this.
