Had some breakfast and chai on the boat. Picked up 2 Canadian guys from a safari lodge that our guide met yesterday to join our tour. Signed in at the entrance to the national park. There a quite a few other tour boats crammed full of Indian tourists – I’m glad we have a lot of space on our boat.
Animal count (no tigers oh well) hairy rhesus maquaqes, mudskippers (my favourite new animal of the day) wild boar, herons, variety of kingfishers, green bee eater, spotted deer, eagles, 4 huge water monitor lizards, 3 crocodiles.
Visted another village that we wandered around. There was a lovely dog that escorted us around who I gave lots of cuddles. The village is so chilled out with lots of animals and kids running around and everything looked lovely in the late afternoon sun.
Went back to our village and went for a walk and played with the puppies before having dinner. Surprised we’ve not got ill as the water our salad and plates has been washed in and food cooked in is from the water holes that fill up once a year during monsoon and are full of ducks and other animals. So much prep goes into the curries and different types of breads they have made us.
Stayed in a mud hut which was fine but Will has a cold. Toilet ok was expecting just a hole but it had a ceramic surround. Not tap though so difficult to wash hands.
