So on the 20th of Sept, which seems ages ago now we made our way from Kathmandu to Chitwan National Park on what for a while we didnt think was our bus but unfortunaelty was. Sam our travel agent who we booked with even came and meet us and made sure we were on the right bus, bless him, a very sweet man. So we did make it after a cramped journey up until we dropped off some rafters from then we had a row each and could try and lay back and relax. But finally after 6 hours and 30 mins we arrived to a parking lot of jeeps, found our one and was on our way to the national park - Tiger Camp. We enjoyed our welcome drink whilst watching a father and a baby rhino. Then we were orientated around the camp and after freshing up we went via a jeep to the elephant breeding centre. So many beautiful elephant and we even got to see 18 month year old twins!
Then we walked through a local village and took a caynoe ride back across the river which was very nerve racking at first as the lake had crodiles in!Laura looked very scared, bless her and hopefully she was preparing herself for tomorrow as again we were caynoeing down the river to the jungle. That evening we sat under the stars with two girls we had met during the day, Anna and Isobel and sipped our cocktails.
Day two in Chitwan started with an early morning call and a scrummy breakie then shortly tackled the caynoe again which I was starting to enjoy but being strong for Laura who was very nervous, Iam hugely proud of her as this time it was a longer journey plus we spotted some crodiles on the side of the lake. But she did it and we got off and walked through the jungle the grass was as tall as us, i felt like indian jones!searching for tigers!During our jungle walk we only saw some bugs, deer and birds but the best was yet to come.
That afternoon we went for the elephant ride and our elephant who we named Ellie saftely took us throught the jungle and we were lucky enought to see a baby rhino and a mother. The ride was amazing we went thought lakes on the elephants and saw lots more animals including wild pig, deer and even a cheeky little monkey. That evening we walked to the local village and watched a culture show which included they different dances, again we ended a brillant day with some gorgeous dinner and cocktails by the beatiful river.
