We are staying here for a couple of days and did a boat trip at dawn through the tiger reserve. Needless to say the boat was packed with indians (as most places are here) who can be quite loud so we didn't see any tigers. We did see bison, Sambar and a few elephants all of which roam wild in the park so we were really lucky. One elephant swam right across the river in front of us and then had a bit of a stand off about 10m away. It was really amaxzing as we hadn't expected to see any but in fac there were over a 1000 in this huge reserve.
We visited a spice garden and saw all types of spice being used - cardamom, chilli, pepper, coffee, nutmeg, clove, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass....it was really quite interesting as the guide took us round.
Nicola has been for an auyerdevic massage and we are off tomorrow for the keralan backwaters and a stay on a housboat....should be good.
Oh one other thing - Ben is thanking his lucky stars he wasn't born in this country...the indian family who own our guesthouse have a wedding today...its a very small one with only a thousand guests!
