SAFARI AGAIN!
Hi everyone! We went on Safari again and saw a ….. T T T TIGER! Here is the whole adventure! (Most of it anyway!)
Day 1
We got up at 4:30, got dressed and then went downstairs to check out.We were on our way! Unfortunately it took 20 minutes to check out and by the time we got to the airport our flight had already closed its check-in L. We spent the rest of the day being taught by Charlotte (our tutor). Not going well. Days rating:L
Day 2

Yet again we get up at 4:30, got dressed and checked out (quickly this time!). We left to the airport and caught our flight to Bandhavgarh. We arrived at a military airport and went on a 4 hour drive (Not niceL) to the safari park. At 3pm we went on safari and saw lots of spotted deer, a couple of wild boar, some rare birds, tiger poo but no TIGER! Days rating:L

Day 3
4:30 (I’m getting frustrated from these early morning daysL) we went on an early morning (gimme a break!) safari and saw 2 TIGERS! (Now that’s more like it!J) The first one was a female and we followed it for 40 minutes! The second one was the alpha male tiger* and only passed us but these were our first TIGERS in the wild! Praise the Lord YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! J
3pm we went on safari and saw another TIGER! It was miles away but another Tiger! 3 in one day HOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Days rating:J

| That's a tiger! |
Day 4
4:30 (AAAGGGAAAIIINNN!!!!) we went on another Safari and saw two more Tigers. One was miles away but another was 2 meters away and we were on an elephant!!! What happened was it was nearly the end of our trip so we decided to go on an elephant and that was a brilliant idea because we saw the Tiger right up close.
Thank you, God! J

| Sleepy tiger, really quite close |
That afternoon it was time to leave but the worst was still to come. We were going back on an over-night train! Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! When we arrived, the train station stank! The reason for this was simple. You know that rule in England that in a train you can’t go to the loo until the train is moving? Well, India doesn’t have that rule so the track was covered in …. (Need I say more?) SEWAGE!! (note from mum – they do have that rule but nobody follows it!) Anyway, our room was tiny and only had room for sleeping and not much else. Anyway, once we were on we read for a bit and then had a rest. Days rating:JOrL?
Day 5
5:45 (Come on I need to sleep. Why me? Noooooooooo!) We got dressed and made our beds. When we finally arrived (14 hours after getting on) we got off the train and our journey ended! J
Well that’s all folks. So long guys and girls who are reading this beeeeeeeeeeep click POW!
*Male Tigers are more muscular than male tigers but females are more elegant. Weirdly I preferred the female one!

PS. If you have never seen a tiger they are an amazing mixture of graceful, beautiful and terrifying!
