Harry, first class all the way baby


 Tiger Blog

Hello! Welcome to the Blog! Today I will be telling you about how many tigers we saw (5) and where we saw them.  I will measure the next paragraphs in days.


Spotted deer - also known as lunch
Day One: 
Got up in Delhi at approximately 0430 hours. Spent the rest of the day travelling by plane and by car. We arrived in Bandhavgarh and as soon as we arrived we departed on a jeep safari but only saw spotted deer, samba deer, wild boar and a snake.
 Day Two: (Friday 13thL) got up at 0500 hours. We saw 3 Tigers that day. (FINALLY!!!!) The tiger we saw we followed for 0040 hours. At one time it almost crossed the road but other jeeps following it blockaded at the spot where it was going to cross. (Fortunately, it did eventually cross the road.) One of the tigers we saw was the alpha male of the park. We saw it for 0001 hour(s).  The next one was asleep and we saw it for twenty minutes because the other jeeps were piling so we couldn’t get past. Rating: ∞ I thought Friday 13th was supposed to be unlucky!
Can you spot the tiger...?
Day Three: Got up at???? Hours and we saw 2 tigers that day.  One was about 2 meters away and the other was 20 meters. The one that was 2m away was asleep although I’m surprised it didn’t wake up because the elephant we were on was getting thwacked by an ugly man babbling “doo doo DOO DDDDDOOOOOOO!!!” and “bad bad bad bad bad BAD HAATI**!!!” not to mention “MACHILLEIT!!!!
First class A/C. Lovely. 

After that we left to go back to Delhi in a first class train carriage. I think Indians get confused between first and worst class because it is one of the most uncomfortable things in history. The train station was covered in --------. They don’t have tanks where they hold the ---- so the rails are also covered in --------. The cabin we were stuffed in was a 3X3m room with four bunks. At one point an Indian lady barged into our room and asked if she could sleep with us. (Thank heavens mum said no! - note from ma - not no! so much as, ooh maybe, but do you want to check along the train for somewhere else first...?!)  Rating: 5\10

Day Four: Arrived back in Delhi at 7am and went to the Imperial Hotel for breakfast. 

Well, it seems I have w… (Normal ending)….Goodbye! Click!

**Haati is elephant in Hindi. Although I don’t know what the DOO!s and the MACHILLEIT!!! was about.
